[Eril-l] FW: Kanopy vs. campus streaming?

[van Sickle, Jennifer]

Our use of Kanopy and streaming video has also gone up significantly, as faculty from all disciplines are using it for teaching purposes.  We don't think the services are being misused, but it's definitely having am impact on our already lean budget.  We haven't put any limits on use yet and will hold off as long as we can.



Best,



Jennifer

Subject: [Eril-l] Kanopy vs. campus streaming?

Hi,
I'm wondering if there are any libraries that have reached out to other departments on their campus about providing institutional streaming for students?

I ask this in relation to Kanopy since we have seen a dramatic increase in Kanopy usage. While we're happy that folks are using this resource, there's also the question of whether or not the library is the clear choice to be paying for this. I'm only aware of Swank and HBO Go that provide campus streaming.

My thinking is that the library could still license films for classroom use but maybe "entertainment" streaming could be paid for by student life or something similar.

Do others have thoughts about this?
Thank you,
Trisha
