PASCAL Programs & Initiatives
PASCAL leverages state funds, membership dues and grants to provide cost-efficient services to its member academic libraries.
Key programs include:
- PASCAL Delivers, a statewide rapid print-delivery service and union catalog that provides access to over 12 million print volumes housed in academic libraries around the state.
- Core electronic resources, including thousands of academic journals covering all disciplines and over 290,000 academic e-books.
- Systems administration on an opt-in basis; PASCAL manages an Integrated Library System (ILS) for five public college and university libraries and a shared ILS for seven independent college libraries.
In addition to these long-standing programs, PASCAL seeks to foster collaboration and enhance efficiencies within the SC academic library community through additional projects and initiatives.
