Brief description
PASCAL was founded in 2001. The overarching goal for the consortium is to strengthen the role of the academic library in helping higher education meet its mission across the South Carolina community.Specific programmatic goals include providing universal access to core materials and information services for every student and faculty member of institutions of higher learning in South Carolina; enhancing print and digital research collections that support scholarly achievement and further economic development in South Carolina; encouraging direct resource sharing among academic libraries; preserving the materials that contribute to the memory of South Carolina history and culture for future generations; and providing opportunities for collaborative training and professional development for library users and staff from South Carolina's academic libraries.
In order to pursue these goals PASCAL is developing and nurturing relationships with key partners including but not limited to the Commission on Higher Education, the South Carolina State Library, the Office of Information Resources, and the State Archive.
