PASCALCAT (items in academic libraries across SC)

Visiting Patron

Allows any SWU student to take their ID to a participating PASCAL library and check out books.

• For example, if a Charleston AGS student needs a book located at Charleston Southern University, he or she can go directly to Charleston Southern’s library and check out the book.

Pick-Up Anywhere

Allows students to request books through PASCALcat and have the books delivered to a participating academic library for pick-up.

• For example, if a Charleston AGS student requests a book that is located at USC-Columbia, he or she can have the book sent directly to Charleston Southern, the College of Charleston, or another participating library for pick-up. (In the past, books would have to be delivered to SWU’s main campus and then mailed to the AGS student’s home.)
