<div dir="ltr">Hi All,<div><br></div><div>Portland State University Library had a three year PDA plan for all of Kanopy's content. Between year 1 and year 2, we saw an increase in usage that we felt was acceptable about 15%-20% but then between year 2 and 3, our usage quadrupled even after we removed records from the catalog and blocked a handful of providers that we had available on other platforms. We have since canceled the PDA program entirely & now are only using the mediated access. We're waiting to see how this plays out with faculty as we ended access at the close of Spring term & Fall term will not start until towards the end of September. So far, there has been dissatisfaction noted by faculty in the College of Film and we're working with them to come to an offering that works best.</div><div><br></div><div>What we did learn close to shutting off the PDA is that some folks on campus were using Kanopy as a personal entertainment service and not necessarily in classroom use (online or face-to-face). We had anecdotal evidence of that form of usage presented from various discussions on campus. Then, we also found a local student group facebook page where an advertisement for Kanopy services was posted. It appears that this promotion was not posted by the student group members so it's beneficial to be a bit wary of the marketing targets being used in social media.</div><div><br></div><div> There is some significant overlap in content with Alexander Street's Academic Video Online for a few content providers (California Newsreel & First Run for instance) and we prefer the Alexander Street model of being able to purchase high demand content in perpetuity at the end of each calendar year. So we are tending towards their model at this point. </div><div><br></div><div>We're taking a harder line this year with Kanopy & have designated a specific amount of money to be spent using their services & once that limit is met, we're cutting off access. The College of Film agrees with us that this is a reasonable approach to take.</div><div><br></div><div>Jill Emery</div><div>Collection Development & Management Librarian</div><div>Portland State University Library</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Jul 26, 2018 at 8:35 AM van Sickle, Jennifer <<a href="mailto:Jennifer.vanSickle@trincoll.edu">Jennifer.vanSickle@trincoll.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good Morning,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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?
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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”?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your help.
