Budgetary caution slowed down the refill of Kanopy's coffers, but it is back in action! Kanopy is a streaming video database that works a little like a gift card: we fill it up each year, and then the entire collection is available! When a certain number of people watch a certain amount of time on a single movie, it triggers a purchase, and so it goes until the "gift card" is empty. At that time, only licensed films will be available, but you can contact the librarians or our director, Shannon Hausinger, about how to purchase additional films.
Why Kanopy?
- High quality documentaries & many big-name titles... not purely obscure documentaries
- Students can simultaneously stream movies -- no need to fight over access to one "copy"
- You can install the Kanopy channel to Roku, too, or download the Kanopy app to easily stream from your phone
- All movies are captioned and provide transcripts
