Does the Library have movies available for streaming?
Answer
Yes, with restrictions. Check out our Libguide for more information about our streaming video platforms. The largest platform, Kanopy, is restricted to educational use only. We require that instructors request videos to be licensed prior to when they are needed for a course. Once a title has been licensed, access to it will remain open on the Kanopy website for twelve months from the date of activation. We will extend or re-license titles for class use when requested by instructors.
Unfortunately, due to costs, we do not offer unlimited Kanopy viewing to students. If you are a student who needs access to a Kanopy title for a course, contact your instructor and ask them to send in a request on behalf of your class.
There are two ways to request Kanopy video licensing for class use: via the Kanopy website or directly via the kanopy@purdue.edu account. Detailed information about both methods is available on the Libguide.
