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

Fri Oct 26 10:25:42 PDT 2018

Thank you all for your thoughtful responses to this!
You have provided us with many approaches to consider in dealing with
streaming costs.

I guess I was assuming a lot in some ways. It seemed like the major uptick
in use of Kanopy had to be somewhat entertainment related and not just
related to coursework. My thinking was that, if this were true, perhaps
another unit on campus could take on the cost of providing streaming for
students while the library would mediate Kanopy and make sure that those
purchases were actually to support curriculum.

What I'm hearing from folks is that the increased usage at their
institution's still seems to be related to course support. I was hoping to
find some way for folks on campus to still have their streaming but not
have the total cost burden be on the library.
Thanks again,
Trisha
