\"KanopyKanopy<\/a>, our on-demand streaming video service, is a wonderful resource and we are happy to see it being so well-used.\u00a0 However, our library materials budget is limited and we cannot sustain the current level of spending. This academic year we have already spent over $14,000 to lease about 90 films (an important note here is that we do not<\/strong> <\/em>own the films, we only purchase access to each one for one year). In order to continue this service we need to reduce the cost.<\/p>\n

Previously, Kanopy films were automatically<\/strong> <\/em>purchased after 30 seconds of viewing by any user with access to the library, including walk in visitors.<\/p>\n

In an effort to eliminate purchases being triggered by casual users and focus on class-related use of the rich academic material included in Kanopy, we have made the following changes:<\/p>\n

1. We removed films to which we do<\/u> not<\/u><\/strong> have current access from the catalog. (We used to have all 21,000+ films listed, available for viewing and automatic triggering).<\/p>\n

2. Kanopy films to which we do<\/u><\/strong> have current access still appear in the catalog for the use of the whole campus community. These will be removed at the end of the one-year subscription period. New films to which we have purchased access are added promptly to the catalog for immediate availability.<\/p>\n

3. All films available through Kanopy can still be browsed via the database A-Z list<\/a>; however, we have added a statement that films can only be requested by faculty:<\/p>\n

\"Kanopy<\/p>\n

4. We moved the Kanopy films listing on Accessing Films at SHU<\/strong><\/a> so now Kanopy is part of Streaming for classroom use<\/a> <\/strong>further supporting the idea that Kanopy films are for academic purposes rather than entertainment. Note that we have other streaming video resources listed there as well.<\/p>\n

5. Faculty can browse, search and request Kanopy films directly through the Kanopy interface. Films to which we have access will appear first. To watch or request a video:<\/p>\n
