Kanopy streaming videos must be paid for by the Thompson Library in order to be viewed. The library's budget for Kanopy films is nearly already spent for the year. We strongly encourage users to seek films on other platforms, such as Alexander Street, or one of the other streaming video services listed below.
If you have any questions about Kanopy or its budget, please contact Matthew Wolverton.
