PASCAL is …

… an Essential Program At the end of June 2008, PASCAL’s virtual academic library contained millions of articles licensed from over 13,000 research publications and over 10 million print volumes owned by the state’s academic libraries. Effectively PASCAL guaranteed every one of the state’s 230,000 college students & faculty fingertip access to a quality university-level research library.

… a Model for the State Overall, the state has seen a seven-fold return in value for each dollar spent, based largely on the capability to license materials at the statewide “enterprise” level and by

leveraging investments made by individual institutions through the resource sharing system.

“The best current example for sharing inter-intuitional costs for technology in South Carolina is the Partnership Among South Carolina Academic Libraries (PASCAL)…”

-- The Higher Education Study Committee

…a Work in Progress Programming is guided by a strategic plan developed in 2001. Current programs – as transformative as they have been in their own right – have just built a foundation that that sets the stage for South Carolina to catch up with competition regionally and nationally. Were core funding to fall below the survival threshold, the state’s hard-won progress would be erased.

PASCAL has made it possible to continue my life as a scholar while living in a rural area of the state. We need PASCAL as it represents an extensive academic network. It is virtually impossible for state universities to have all of the resources that are needed. With PASCAL, we all share and have access to all of the books in the state libraries. PASCAL is essential to my productivity as a scholar.

-- Professor, Francis Marion University

PASCAL is an absolutely essential tool for scholarship, teaching, and student learning. I am very disappointed that funding for PASCAL has been cut so drastically. I know there must be hundreds to thousands of other researchers/teachers, particularly at smaller institutions, who feel the same way. In the present and future I believe that the funding for PASCAL should not only be restored but expanded.
