I haven’t heard this concern expressed about any collections until now. Does this apply to any collection an institution buys? (Since, in a since, it’s all state money.)

Or is Kanopy a special case? Is it per Kanopy licensing terms, maybe?

My initial thought was that any use of Kanopy could be potentially be for academic use. Maybe Kanopy really polices this stuff?

As an aside, I haven’t seen my public library offering Kanopy. But they do offer AcornTV, which is quite cool (along with NY Times).

Wow Greg, I’m glad you mentioned that KCLS offers Kanopy!  I checked our local library systems out here and found that Timberland Regional Library also offers it!  You get 5 views per month and it includes public performance rights!  My library system is Kitsap Regional Library but since we have reciprocal agreements with most of the other systems I happen to have a Timberland card already.   I just set up my account and it was pretty easy.  Until we get our own account this may help some of our students and faculty.

We open it up to anyone at the school for any reason.

It’s better to not add restriction statements to the use of a product, and instead limit the content that’s available. We were seeing striking quantities of people watching some of the titles that did not seem very academic (the award winning documentaries, the popular fictional films, etc), and so we deactivated those publishers in Kanopy and now we have a more reasonable usage rate. We still get the titles that are relates to the academic programs, and tell folks that if they’re looking for “the full” Kanopy, they can go to the public library (KCLS provides access to Kanopy).

Hey all,

Not so much an Alma collection but a resource question.

I've been told about a conversation a few years ago about switching to Kanopy and what it might mean for our faculty and employees. The chief concern is, are faculty allowed to use Kanopy for personal use? It's a resource paid for with state funding, so personal use should be prohibited; on the other hand, if a faculty member wanted to come check out a fiction novel for some beach reading, we wouldn't block that.

If you have Kanopy, what do you tell your faculty and employees?
