[Wactclc-alma] [External] Kanopy pricing changes

[Bem, Greg]

I'm glad that this is getting shared. This is something I was not aware of. It's pretty disappointing that they would not formally announce such a major change. There are ethical issues with this-add it to the pile of other vendor-related ethical issues.

I'm going to reach out and schedule a call with Kanopy for the first week of summer quarter to touch base.

The idea of a consortial approach to Kanopy seems to make sense-does anyone have experience with that? It might be an LLC conversation.

A final comment from me-the comment that the PPU is a public library model is contradictory to everything I remember hearing back when I first submitted the idea of the PPU model to Kanopy several years ago. Not to take the spotlight, but if memory serves, I was the first to try and get a PPU model for any of the CTCs, because it made sense to LWTech's situation at the time. (Which is the same situation we have now.) It seems like staffing changes may be the result of this corroded understanding.

I heard that last week too, when I inquired why were billed $2/view for 165 plays rather than automatically triggering a purchase after 50 plays. They said "This is something we can no longer offer."  I had received no advance notification of any changes to the billing structure. I sent a response back expressing my unhappiness, and attached a copy of the email we had from the sales rep a couple of months ago offering that model to us, which is part of what convinced is to adopt the service, but have yet to hear back. I am all for pressuring Kanopy via consortium or other means, at least to allow that model to remain in place for the rest of this year.

Hi all,

Long time, no see. ;)

I wasn't sure if this was best to post here or CLAMS or CLAWS, so I'll start with this list.

Another librarian and I met with our new Kanopy rep yesterday. Has anyone else met with Nicole Ojeda? She shared with us that Kanopy is making some pricing changes such as charging less than $120 per film for short films or episodes in the PDA model. She also shared that in the PPU model, hitting 60 $2 plays will no longer trigger a purchase. Meaning our top watched film at Pierce would cost us $800 already and keep going as more students watch it, rather than capping out $120. Finally, she shared that we weren't really supposed to be on PPU model because we aren't a public library.

This info has us in a bit of a tizzy!

Has anyone else heard something different? Is Kanopy something we need to take on as a consortium?

Thanks for your thoughts!
Lesley
