Beyond Therapy Dogs: Coordinating Large-Scale Finals Week Activities
Flynn, Holly
Public Services Quarterly, v13 n2 p117-123 2017
Finals week activities have become increasingly popular in academic libraries in the last few years, but what is a library to do when it is not allowed to have therapy dogs? This column examines a progression of increasingly popular activities at Michigan State University Libraries. Included is an assessment of what makes them popular, our marketing efforts, and some challenges we have faced. While our events are very large in scope due to the size of our student body, the activities could be scaled to work in almost any library.
