QUOTATION OF THE WEEK

“You can’t do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth.”

Evan Esar (1899-1995)

GOOD news about PASCAL services!

PASCAL Delivers will continue to operate in 2008-09, albeit 3 days per week instead of 5.

PASCAL databases such as Academic Search Premier, Business Source Premier, and Literature Resource Center will remain accessible during 2008-09.

THANK YOU for all of your comments and concerns about this issue. PASCAL's Board will continue campaigning for funding reinstatement in 2009-10. If you want to follow along, here is a link to PASCAL's news.
