Resource Sharing

Renewals 101: Renewals of items borrowed through traditional Interlibrary Loan are at the discretion of the lending library, which is why patrons must contact us to request renewals. All books borrowed through PASCAL Delivers are eligible for a one-time renewal of 6 weeks; just visit My Library Account and renew the selected book.

High-Density Storage 101: How do we find material in high-density storage if it’s shelved by size and not call number? Barcodes!

Proxy Requesting for ILL and PASCAL 101: Although the ILLiad and PASCAL Delivers systems are not designed for proxy requesting, we have developed workarounds to enable this service for our faculty. Learn more here.

Service Information

Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary Loan Team members provide interlibrary loan services for faculty, staff, and students. Team members process requests from our users to borrow books, articles, and materials from other libraries and work to fulfill requests from other libraries to borrow materials from Clemson.

PASCAL Delivers

PASCAL Delivers lets students and faculty at South Carolina colleges and universities search academic libraries all over the state and have books from other libraries delivered to them. Currently, Clemson students, faculty, and staff can search the libraries of Clemson University, the University of South Carolina, and many other institutions. For a complete list of currently searchable libraries, click on the “Actively Participating Libraries” link on the PASCAL Delivers webpage.

Scan & Deliver

Scan & Deliver is the in-house document delivery service that provides scans of journal articles and book chapters only found in the print collection.

Offsite Storage Facility

The Library Depot is a high-density storage facility that houses library materials and University records. Team members use the LAS system to retrieve items, reshelve them, and accession new materials. A scanning station is located there for quick delivery of scanned articles and book chapters.
