Updates on PASCAL where given and what PASCAL is doing in the Academic Library environment.

Amy Duernberger of DISCUS show what is going on with DISCUS.  Over 4.5 Million items were retrieved in DISCUS across the State last year.  DISCUS saved the state around 30 Million dollars in cost for these wonderful online databases.  Thanks to a partnership with PASCAL, DISCUS was able to add AccessScience this year.  DISCUS looked at each database and what each had to offer, also compared them to other Database offerings that are available this year.  Determined that the databases in use offer the people of SC the best bang for their buck. DSCF0161
