You may submit a request for book or article that is not available from the McDermott Library. Just let us know what item(s) you need.  Typically, you will receive an article in 2-3 business days while books take up to 7-10 days.

Since McDermott Library is a member of the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (CARL), you may request items in Prospector, a union collection of print and ebooks, audiovisual and other materials held by academic, public, and special libraries in Colorado. During the week, a courier makes deliveries to the library.

SILLVR is an expansion of Prospector to request streaming videos. Use "Advanced Search" to filter streaming videos. After the request is processed, you will get an email with a streaming database link.
