Kanopy is one of four streaming video collections available through the SJU Library. Kanopy works on a patron-driven acquisition (PDA) process, meaning that you can select a film for the library to purchase. Currently, our Kanopy subscription is set up to alert library staff when an SJU user requests a video for purchase rather than allowing automatic purchases.  If you request a video through the Kanopy platform, library staff will contact you.
Faculty: if you have a list of films you need for your students, please contact your liaison, who can assist you with finding particular films. 
 
The following films are available for on- or off-campus viewing with your SJU credentials.  Please note the expiration date for each group.
