<p class="MsoNormal">I am not directly involved in our Kanopy setup any more but here is what I know.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We very recently shifted from an all access model to a completely mediated model. This mirrors what has been previously mentioned here and on other library discussions lists by several other libraries. From now on, the only approved use
for a Kanopy video will be for a professor needing it for a class, and this will require that person to fill out a Kanopy-provided request form. Unfortunately, that request form cannot be customized or rather, Kanopy is not willing to customize it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I agree that this is a useful and clearly in-demand service, with a nice, intuitive interface, good analytics, and content that users obviously want. But whatever money Kanopy receives from us will be drastically reduced from now on due
to unsustainable use coupled with inflexibility on their part to provide alternative ways for us to work within a limited budget.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We also have several Alexander Street Press streaming video collections, but they generally don’t receive as much use and are much more focused in their subject content, anyway.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">I was wondering if anyone out there had come up with a way to limit Kanopy use successfully. What did you do? How much did it make a difference to your spend?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Evidently, for public libraries, Kanopy loads all patron accounts and libraries can limit each person to a certain number of streams per month. I asked Kanopy about that at ER&L last week and they said there was
no way that would be possible for academic libraries.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">I also asked if they had thought about making ways for us to limit besides only by subject or provider, and they said no and that they weren’t interested in creating additional options.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Without other good alternatives, we are planning to change our entire Kanopy profile to mediated after this semester and thereafter only approve license requests made by faculty and perhaps graduate students.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Has anyone else made this switch? <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">What about alternatives to Kanopy? The content and access are good and obviously filling a need in our user population, but Kanopy’s business model is just not a good fit for our budget limits. Is there another
service that could be a substitute?<o:p></o:p></p>
