Films on Demand

Kanopy Streaming Video

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.

At the end of June 2021, Ely Library will move from instant, on-demand streaming to a faculty request-only mode. This change is meant to provide videos that support faculty teaching while controlling costs and ensuring that access to videos is not shut down abruptly. 

• Each month, the library will post an updated list of existing Kanopy video licenses to the Streaming Media LibGuide: https://lib.westfield.ma.edu/streamingmedia . This list will include the video’s title, a link to access, and the expiration date. 
• To access a licensed film beyond the expiration date listed on the Streaming Video LibGuide, send an e-mail to Becca Brody at rbrody@westfield.ma.edu, indicating which film should be extended. If you will not need the film until a month or more after the expiration, see the next bullet. 
• For other films, faculty will need to fill out the request form that will appear on the Kanopy website for the film 1-2 weeks before the film is needed.  
• The library will only license films by faculty request.   
• The library sets a budget for Kanopy Streaming and, if demand outstrips the budget, we may not be able to accommodate all requests. 

**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.
