Thank you for your inquiry on our website and for your interest in Kanopy! I am reaching out to share more information about our service and share the details of the trial platform we have created for Johnston Public Library.
Background on Kanopy:
1) Over 30,000 films
We are the largest dedicated video streaming solution for libraries, featuring over 1,000 producers (Criterion Collection, Great Courses, The Orchard, PBS, etc) and 60% of exclusive films. We are continually growing this collection with 150-200 new films each month. Our motto is “thoughtful entertainment” and we deliver films that drive learning and recreation outcomes for communities to meet the library mission.
2) Apps, “Group Showings”, Accessibility
Films with “group showing” rights for programming/community events, we support more device apps than any other library vendor (Roku, ios, android, etc), and meet the highest accessibility standards of any platform.
3) 3,000 libraries
We work with 3,000 libraries across the country (e.g. New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, DC, etc). You can see LAPL’s profile for Kanopy here (http://www.lapl.org/kanopy). LAWeekly rated us “the best library video solution” and the NY Times asks why NYPL has Kanopy? “Because libraries are awesome, that’s why.”
4) Cost effective model
We offer a Pay Per Use (PPU) model for public libraries. PPU is our most popular model employed at 98% of public libraries and provides very clear benefits:
- Open all films: make 30,000 films available to ensure to meet the diverse demand in your community
- Guaranteed best value: no upfront, set up or platform fees. You have guaranteed great ROI based on usage and can at any time during the year switch any films or your whole website to direct licensing
- Total flexibility & control: You can set controls for your PPU program (select content, monthly user caps budget limits etc) and only pay month to month (no annual contract) so have full flexibility throughout the year.
