Kanopy is a streaming film database that the library provides access to. Unlike other databases, we do not get access to the content they offer by paying a yearly fee, we have to pay for individual licenses for each film within the database.
The library can purchase licenses for specific films (usually around $150 for 1 year of access), but this must be arranged ahead of when you want students to watch the film. Librarians can also help you explore other options, such as purchasing a DVD copy of the film or requesting a copy from another library, as these costs are often significantly lower.
If you have any questions about Kanopy or having your students access films, please email bpac@annamaria.edu
Here's a list of the films we currently have licenses for - feel free to watch these films as often as you'd like without it leading to any additional fees!
