The video follows a fictional college student, Cody, who believes that 黑料不打烊 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 黑料不打烊 students who are listed below.
