Information on emergency Auraria Library access

In addition to Skyline (http://skyline.ucdenver.edu) which is housed inside the Library and to miscellaneous databases that are outside the Library it would also be useful for the rest of us to bookmark the following. (And to have direct links on the public PCs to these resources … if they aren’t already there.)

LibGuides** (http://guides.auraria.edu/) which is housed outside the Library.
Prospector* (http://prospector.coalliance.org/) which is at the Alliance and is housed outside of the Library.
Reserves* (http://auraria.docutek.com/) which is also housed outside of the Library.
Library FYI (http://aurarialibraryfyi.blogspot.com/) which is on Blogspot from Google and therefore is housed outside of the Library.
Interlibrary Loan (https://cudenver.illiad.oclc.org/illiad/logon.html) which is OCLC/ILLiad and is housed outside of the Library.
WorldCat Local at Auraria* (http://aurarialibrary.worldcat.org/advancedsearch/) which is also on OCLC and is housed outside of the Library.

*Reserves, Prospector and WorldCat Local at Auraria rely directly on holdings or checkin/checkout data found in Skyline so if Skyline is not operational then they will work but may not be accurate. In addition Prospector does not include all of the Auraria Library holdings that are listed in Skyline and WorldCat Local.
**LibGuides links to the databases are proxied. The proxy access relies on Skyline so if Skyline is not operational then the links won’t work. If sufficient time lapses and on campus internet access is still available it would be possible to remove the proxy universally. Then database access would be possible from on campus computers.
