Funds ($90k) allocated in 2018-19 to support unlimited Kanopy streaming video viewing have been expended. Alternative funds have been allocated to support new Kanopy streaming video content required by faculty for course use. Currently licensed videos will remain active through their annual expiration date. Please see our list of licensed video content at Streaming Video Collections and Databases or through the USF Libraries Catalog. The list of Kanopy licensed content with expiration dates are posted on the Kanopy Guide by tomorrow. There is now a banner at the top of all USF Kanopy pages.

Kanopy search results are divided into two sections: “Videos” and “videos you can request for your library.” If you try to access or watch a title that is not currently licensed, you will be presented with a request form:
The Collections & Discovery department receives these requests via email from Kanopy. The requests are reviewed to ensure they are from USF faculty for course use. Upon approval, a request is sent to Kanopy to license the video. Typically, confirmation of the purchase is received within 24 hours of sending Kanopy the request, excluding weekends. The requester is notified of the purchase and provided with a direct link to the video. Please estimate a week’s total turnaround time on requests, with exceptions for rush processing as needed. To ensure adequate support for instructional requirements, all other requests will be declined. When this mediated model becomes unsustainable it will be discontinued. Instructors may still make streaming video requests through Course Reserves as they do for other resources. We are unable to provide previews of unlicensed Kanopy videos.
