NGU's Hester Memorial Library is a member of PASCAL (Partnership Among South Carolina Library). PASCAL equips academic libraries across the state with the essential resources and support they need to drive student success and academic excellence.

PASCAL Delivers is a rapid delivery service provided by the Partnership Among South Carolina Academic Libraries which enables students, faculty and staff across the state to request and receive materials from participating academic libraries in South Carolina. The service is comprised of two distinct parts: PASCAL Delivers Print and PASCAL Delivers Digital.

PASCAL Delivers Digital is a developing service which leverages the PASCAL Delivers Print agreement to enable students, faculty, and staff to request and receive digital copies of articles and chapters, and to request and download e-books from other academic libraries in South Carolina.
