Update August 17, 2017: The solar shades that the Health Sciences Library made available were purchased from Amazon. Today Amazon notified the Health Sciences Library that “Amazon has not received confirmation from the supplier of your order that they sourced the item from a recommended manufacturer. We recommend that you DO NOT use this product to view the sun or the eclipse.”
If you have a pair of the solar shades that the library made available, please be aware of this information. An additional source of information to evaluate the safety of solar shades is available from the American Astronomical Society.
Update August 16, 2017: All of the solar shades have been distributed! The library attempted to order more but was unsuccessful. A few public libraries will be passing out free solar shades:
The Denver Museum of Nature and Sciences will have shades available at their viewing party on Monday, August 21st. Their gift shop had been selling solar shades but has now announced they are sold out and will not be receiving more.
On August 21, 2017 a solar eclipse will be visible in the continental United States. In Denver, it will not be a total eclipse but it will be close! Almost 93% of the sun will be eclipsed by the moon. Continue reading

The library will suspend 24/7 access for a short period just before Christmas. When HSL closes at 5 p.m. on Thurs Dec 22, ALL USERS will be asked to exit the building — students, staff, AMC, downtown, everyone. NO EXCEPTIONS. This is for carpet cleaning of high traffic areas, many of which have rarely/never been cleaned. The suspension of 24/7 runs from 5 pm, Thursday Dec 22 to 7 am, Monday Dec 26. Thanks to everyone for your understanding as we make the library cleaner for everyone! Happy Holidays!
On November 16, 2016 a conference was held on the Anschutz Medical Campus that brought together national and regional experts to expose, educate and contemplate ways that health and wellness can be improved. Through presentations and panel discussions, speakers shared their experiences and knowledge.
Videos of the presentations are now available on the conference website.
Check out the website and watch the great speakers that shared their knowledge and answered questions.
The conference was sponsored by the Health Sciences Library and the Strauss-Wisneski Indigenous and Integrative Medicine Collection and made possible by a grant from the Bard Family Foundation.
The Health Sciences Library is in the process of migrating to a new system. Beginning Monday, November 7, 2016, Prospector services will be temporarily suspended as part of the migration. Prospector services will be restored within the next several months. We will notify the Anschutz Medical Campus community when services resume. Please watch for updates. You will still have options for requesting materials during the Prospector downtime.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL): Please create an ILL (Illiad) account to place requests for books and articles held at other libraries. ILL services will be limited to academic material. ILLiad is a free service for most Anschutz Medical Campus faculty, staff, and students. Please visit our webpage. For questions and help with Interlibrary Loan, please contact the ILL office at copydocs@ucdenver.edu or call 303-724-2111.
Your Public Library: If you are looking for popular fiction or leisure reading, please visit your local public library. Most libraries in the metro area are members of Prospector and can help you with this service.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during our migration process! We will do our best to make the transition as smooth as possible for you. Questions? Please contact the service desk at 303-724-2152. For specific questions concerning Prospector, please contact Tami Hoegerl at 303-724-2175 or tamara.hoegerl@ucdenver.edu.
