Streaming Video Collections

Streaming video collections available through the Rohrbach Library

Kanopy

Provides access to over 7,000 videos from major educational film producers and distributors in a wide variety of subject areas. Popular collections include the Criterion Collection, PBS, BBC Active, California Newsreel, Green Planet Films, First Run Features, Kino Lorber Edu, Learning Zone Express, Media Education Foundation, Symptom Media, and PsychoTherapy.net.

Note: As of 7/1/19 the library moved to the "Curated PDA Model". Essentially we are keeping our top 5 most heavily used collections as PDA ("click and view").  These collections include: Janus Films (The Criterion Collection), Psychotherapy.net, The Great Courses, Kino Lorber, and Media Education Foundation.  All other collections will be mediated. This reduced the total number of "click and view" films from apx. 27,000 to 5,000. 

Download the Kanopy app for iOS or Android for mobile viewing. Find the Kanopy channel on Roku to watch at home.
