Q. How do I use Kanopy streaming film database?

Note: Temporarily, selected additional Kanopy content is available free to current UNI faculty, staff, and students. This includes the Great Courses series, among other titles. Follow the instructions provided below to locate any Kanopy content currently available to the UNI community.

Kanopy is a streaming film database which includes educational and other films. Streaming is available on many devices, and films can be used in in-person courses as well as in eLearning. Rod Library has access to a collection of specific licensed titles from within the Kanopy collection and these are searchable in OneSearch (see detailed instructions below). While we do not have the entire collection, faculty can request additional titles.

Kanopy films may be used for campus events. Per Rod Library's licensing agreement, however, an event at which a Kanopy video is to be screened should not be advertised beyond the University community and the screening needs to take place on the University campus. No admission fees (or similar payments) may be charged.
