Checking for Access to an Item

Sometimes, you come across a source through a references page or from a professor. But how do you know if the library has access to that item? This short video shows you how to look for a source by title using the Library website, Google Scholar, the open web, and Interlibrary Loan.

Borrow from Other Libraries

Need a book, article, or other item that the Auraria Library doesn't own? Find it through Prospector, our partnership with other Colorado libraries, or from another library through interlibrary loan (ILLiad).
