How to request Kanopy content

Kanopy titles may be requested for lease by faculty members developing courses.

  1. Authenticate in to Kanopy to search for a film. (Note: you will only be required to authenticate when initially logging in to the Kanopy platform from a new device However, if you clear cache/cookies or login after a three month period, you will need to re authenticate.)
  2. After clicking on a film in Kanopy, a form will appear when the library does not have a current lease for the film. 
  3. Complete the request form. Be sure to include your course prefix and number as well as the module or week you plan to embed the film in. We are collecting this information to assist with oversight of lease tracking and the location of films in a course should they need to be removed (see example below).

Library staff will receive the form and process (either accept or reject your request) within 24-48 business hours except on weekends and over holidays. If your request is approved we will pay to license the video for one year. If we have questions we will follow-up with the requester.
