'Belk Cribs' video shares details of library resources

The promotional video was filmed by Teaching and Learning Technologies last fall as a fun way to teach students about the people and products available to assist them in Belk Library.

¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ’s Belk Library and Teaching and Learning Technologies collaborated over the fall semester to create the library’s new promotional video “.”

The video follows a fictional college student, Cody, who believes that ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ Belk Library is his “crib.” Modeled after the MTV “Cribs” show, Cody takes viewers on a tour of the library to show where he studies, where he gets research and writing help, where he enjoys his DVD and music collection, where he buys coffee through a machine that accepts Phoenix Cash, and where he finds assistance from his Personal Librarian.

He also shows a hidden treasure—the Archives and Special Collections.

This collaboration was made possible by staff and students including (Video Producer), (Outreach Librarian), (Special Collections Librarian and Archivist), and a number of Elon students who are listed below.
