I get it - we don't have funds for the pay-per-use model indefinitely, but at my library, where use of just about all resources is significantly down, having a sudden increase sounds like a "good problem" to have. Rather than finding ways to obstruct patron use, maybe the better approach would be to find a way to accommodate it. Cut something else? perhaps something sacrosanct that we librarians don't want to let go of, but that our patrons no longer care about - if such a thing still exists at your library, maybe not. Or use the demand as proof that your library needs additional support? Or renegotiate with the vendor? At the very least, getting the vendor to work with you to set appropriate use parameters. <div><br></div><div>I also think "entertainment" use of library resources is worth thinking about in depth. I think of my library's mission broadly; we are there not only to support academics, but to help provide the entire higher ed experience for students. So if a student club is watching a film, the library supporting that use seems like good policy. In provision of that film, we enrich the education students are getting outside of classes, which is a critical part of learning. We have purchased films for outdoor rec, environmental student groups, and LGBT groups, all outside of faculty/class demands. I would defend all of those as providing an essential library service.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br clear="all"><div><div class="m_-2456755557130602895gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Karen Jensen<br>Collection Development Officer<br>Rasmuson Library<br>University of Alaska Fairbanks<br></div>907-474-6695<br><div><a href="mailto:kljensen@alaska.edu" target="_blank">kljensen@alaska.edu</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></font></span><div><div class="h5">

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.

<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.
