What is it?

Kanopy is currently a Pay Per Use (PPU) resource for Citrus College (as of Nov. 2019). Users have access to a large collection of films including ones the library has licensed. The library primarily licenses films from Kanopy that are unavailable elsewhere. If you find a film in both Films on Demand and Kanopy, please notify a librarian. 

How does it work?
Users have access to a large collection of films and the library pays per $2 per play unless we have purchased a 12-month license. If you anticipate assigning ANY a film during the academic year, we strongly recommend submitting a request for a license before your students begin playing the film. Purchasing a license is a way to maintain sustainability of this collection. Outside of a purchased license, all plays are $2 each. As we evaluate the sustainability of Kanopy, the model we adopt may change.
