<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">We started a Kanopy PDA in 2016 with all collections available. Because we were concerned that too many films would be triggered and costs would soar, we didn't load MARC records and made just one announcement to faculty. That low-profile approach worked well -- until recently. Apparently word of mouth about all the great films in Kanopy got out, and our fall 2018 invoices started to skyrocket. We made the decision to switch to mediated access starting with spring semester. We only gave faculty about 3 weeks notice -- it wasn't enough. We should've let them know a semester in advance so they could adjust their syllabi accordingly. We had one faculty member who had already planned on using 5-6 Kanopy films this semester, so we ended up getting one-year licenses for those. A few other faculty asked us to renew licenses that we previously had and were about to expire. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Switching to mediated provided us an opportunity to educate faculty on the high cost of academic streaming video. They had no idea we had to pay $150 for a one-year license for ONE film. We now have control over the costs. Getting the requests for each film allows me to make sure we don't already have it in our Academic Video Online streaming subscription and starts a dialogue about how they're going to use it (in class? DVD works as well; or out-of-class viewing) and how many years they plan to use it (3-year license is cheaper in the long run than getting 3 1-year licenses). It's more labor-intensive, but we don't have to worry about blowing our budget. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">We used to have a subscription to Films on Demand (FOD) but cancelled it because it was getting very expensive, usage was decreasing, and we now have Academic Video Online (AVON); however, in a quick and dirty comparison of content in FOD, AVON, and Kanopy, I found only about 25% overlap, so each platform has lots of unique content. I've never used Docuseek, but I have a postcard on my desk as a reminder that it's another option if faculty need something not available on our existing platforms. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Beth</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Beth Jacoby</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">We continue to follow these discussions, as we are also struggling with run-away Kanopy PDA costs. I would be interested in hearing if going to partial-mediation has controlled costs, or do users trigger just as many films from those that
still readily available.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Amy, look into Films on Demand as a possible alternative. They offer a flat-rate annual subscription which we find affordable, and they work with library consortia to offer discounts. We have found that more than a few of the Kanopy films
being triggered here are also available on the Films on Demand platform. Films on Demand recently upgraded their user interface, most likely in response to competition from Kanopy. Also, FoD has superior transcripts and teaching support tools than Kanopy.

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></p>

<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?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> <u></u><u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> <u></u><u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> <u></u><u></u></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.
