Access to Kanopy is currently restricted. Faculty can still request a film by contacting Media Center Coordinator Jarvis Sheffield for any title they plan to use in class or for educational purposes. The TSU Libraries will then work to make sure the film is licensed in time for the assignment and/or that a currently licensed title is not about to expire.

If you are in the Kanopy interface and the title you want is not available, you will see "This film is not available at your institution yet" and a request form. Please fill out the request form which will be forwarded to the TSU Libraries.

In order to help us process your request, you can add the course the streaming video is for, and the duration you plan to use it (one semester, several years, etc.) in the notes field, so that we can explore licensing options. We will work with you to get the license that best fits your needs. Still, it is good to check each year to make sure that the film is still currently under license.

Please note: Kanopy films specifically are licensed for one year. If faculty members will use a film beyond this time period, they must make a new media request for the title prior to the semester they plan to use the film in order to ensure that it is licensed again. Or, please let us know how long you plan to use the film for and we can investigate extended licensing options. Please give Libraries’ staff ample lead-time to fulfill requests for streaming media.
