Our unlimited access streaming collections include Films on Demand, Psychotherapy.net, JoVE, Metropolitan Opera Online, and Counseling & Therapy in Video, as well as any video found within ProQuest or EBSCOHost databases.
Kanopy Streaming Media incurs a $150 charge per video for one year of access, and there is a limited budget for the resource. If you choose to use a Kanopy video in your class, you will need to request it every year. The fastest way to request a film is to fill out the request form from within the Kanopy website. Requests should be made at least 5 business days in advance, as it may take several days to process the request. The library will not automatically renew licenses on the Kanopy platform and will not purchase films licenses based on student request. Kanopy videos are not available by searching the library's catalog; they must be searched directly on the Kanopy website.
The Kanopy platform provides access to hundreds of educational videos and feature films through a pay-as-you-go model. Ely Library has a set budget for this service.
Ely Library provides Kanopy video access by faculty request only. This so that the library can provide videos that support faculty teaching while controlling costs and ensuring that access to videos is not shut down abruptly.
**If you use Kanopy videos in your classes, you will need to ensure a license is active before assigning videos to students or screening them in class. Ely Library cannot guarantee same-day access to expired videos.
JoVe is now organized into two packages: Research, focused on experiments using new methods and technologies, and Education, focused on more basic STEM concepts and methods. Westfield has access to all of the content in the Education package, including Biology, Chemistry, Statistics, Environmental Science, Physics, Engineering, and Clinical Skills. In addition, Westfield has access to Research content for the Biological and Medical/Clinical Sciences. JoVE is updated with new content throughout the year.
We have access to two Psychotherapy.net collections.
Some ProQuest Databases include both audio and video content, including podcasts and excerpts from news and educational programming.
