Kanopy Streaming Service This link opens in a new window
As of 7/1/19 we have moved to the "Curated PDA Model". Essentially we are keeping our top 5 most heavily used collections as PDA (Janus Films (The Criterion Collection), Psychotherapy.net, The Great Courses, Kino Lorber, and Media Education Foundation) and everything else will be mediated. This reduces the total number of "click and view" films from apx. 27,000 to 5,000. We've also instituted a budget cap for Kanopy spending for this FY. Search "The Children Act" to see how to request videos.
