[Eril-l] Kanopy Streaming Videos - PDA program

[van Sickle, Jennifer]

Video usage in general has taken off like a rocket here as well, and we're also spending much more on Kanopy.  Since it's used for teaching purposes, it would be difficult to restrict access in any way.  For the new fiscal year, we shifted funds around from areas where we didn't spend as much (binding, print books).  It's definitely a challenge in a tough budget climate.

Subject: [Eril-l] Kanopy Streaming Videos - PDA program

Good Morning,

Since the beginning of the year our library has seen a significant increase in invoice totals for our subscription to Kanopy's PDA subscription.  We are now being invoiced monthly, instead of quarterly (which it looks like were in 2017) and our totals for the monthly invoices are equaling the quarterly ones from last year.  I was wondering if anyone else had noticed anything similar?

If so, has anyone made changes to their approaches in making these accessible?  We currently have all subject categories available for our users to access - has anyone begun turning any of these off?  If you have, how are you selecting which subjects are hidden and which you are leaving "on"?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you in advance for your help. :)

-Marcia
