Here are some finals survival tips from Her Campus. Between those and 24/7 access to Paley, hopefully no wallowing will be necessary.

North Kentucky University’s library has a stegobeetle.

Temple University Libraries = jealous.

That one time there was nice weather last week.

For all your finals studying needs, Paley Library will be open 24/7 from April 26 until May 9.

The City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program is currently hosting world-famous Dutch artists Jeroen Koolhaas and Dre Urhahn, the duo known as Haas&Hahn, for a year-long artist residency to create their first permanent art installations in North America, Philly Painting. Join Mural Arts Program Executive Director Jane Golden in welcoming Dre Urhahn, as they discuss this exciting new project and their respective experience with community-based public art.

Dre Urhahn is one half of dutch artist group Haas&Hahn. He and colleague Jeroen Koolhaas traded in their careers in Holland when one day, while filming a documentary in Brazil, they stumbled upon the idea to create huge, socially-driven art interventions. They started the Favela Painting Project and created several monumental artworks in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. Their work is studied by leading institutions, published in countless media and shown in exhibits worldwide. They are currently in the U.S., working on a series of immense projects with the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program and planning their return to Rio in 2013, to paint an entire hillside favela.

Happy birthday (and death day - what a drag), William Shakespeare!

Today’s a great day to pick up a play or a sonnet, to check out a film adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s works, or to celebrate Talk Like Shakespeare Day.

Through Temple, you can also sign up for Refworks, a program that lets you store, manage, and format your bibliography as you research. Stop by the Paley reference desk if you have questions about getting started.
