Kanopy

Kanopy is a thoughtfully curated collection of independent, documentary, and world cinema.  All content is closed-captioned. These videos may be viewed from the library's web page or inserted into Canvas classes.

The Library is charged $2 each time a Kanopy video is viewed, so please assign thoughtfully. If you know that a video will be viewed more than 50 times in a calendar year, please contact a librarian so that she can obtain an unlimited viewing license for that specific film.
