[LIBRARYDIR] Kanopy and apps

[Bem, Greg]

Interesting that usage went down. Ours skyrocketed, though that may be in part due to faculty really loving what’s in it.

Hi Claire,

I don’t have a solution to offer, but we did notice our Kanopy usage has gone way down this year. Our usage has gone down more than 50% year-to-year in October and November. Perhaps this is another reason why?

FWIW, I did try clicking “desktop site” on my phone’s browser to try to trick Kanopy, but that didn’t work. :)

Thanks for bringing this to our attention,
Lesley

Hi all,

Our librarians have raised this question: is it problematic that Kanopy now cannot be played on mobile devices unless the user downloads their app?

Does anyone else think this is problematic and if so, do you have a solution? Thanks as always, Claire
