Interesting,
We do annual licensing of select titles without a cost-per-view charge.

Hi,

South Puget Sound Community College has a Kanopy subscription, too, but we may have an entirely different cost structure. Is anyone else on the $2/play contract?

I’d like to be part of the discussion, too. It’s always a juggling act with Kanopy.

Seattle Central also works with Kanopy. I’m interested in this conversation.

Subject: [LIBRARYDIR] Changes to Kanopy licensing terms and their impact on the WACTCLC membership

Within the WACTCLC Alma / Primo project meetings and listservs, the issue of unannounced changes to the licensing structures and pricing for Kanopy content have come to light.

This message is addressed to the directors and Alma / Primo leads of the institutions I am currently aware license Kanopy offerings.

And because I don’t have full knowledge of who might have an active relationship with Kanopy, I am cc’ing the WACTCLC governance committee and the public librarydir list as well.

The Alma/Primo staff I work with regularly have expressed interest in exploring a multi-library licensing option with Kanopy, or at least engaging them in a group discussion about licensing practices, and terms and pricing that work or don’t work for WACTC institutions.

I don’t really have the organizational structure or resources to lead that effort within the Alma / Primo project. As well, this conversation goes beyond the institutions on the shared contract, and beyond Alma / Primo staff, to those making content selection and licensing decisions.

My recommendation for those of you with a Kanopy relationship would be to organize a Zoom call among yourselves for an initial internal conversation about desired contract terms and pricing. You could then follow that up with a group call with the Kanopy rep (or reps) with whom you work. You could suggest to them that you all want similar terms on your contract, and tell them what those terms would be. And also explore the possibility of a group contract in which you would all participate.

And I would be happy to participate in those calls with you, as there is overlap with the Alma / Primo project, in terms of platform-related content management and discovery.

To my knowledge, the following institutions have active relationships with Kanopy.
Not included in this list would be those institutions with whom I don’t work, and also institutions I may work with who haven’t chimed in on this question.

Bellevue
Edmonds
Green River
Highline
Olympic
Pierce
Renton
Shoreline
