Kanopy

Kanopy is a streaming video platform with critically acclaimed movies, documentaries, independent and foreign films, and educational "how to" videos. 

Brock University Library accesses streaming video content in Kanopy via mediated access. With mediated access, the Library licenses Kanopy films by request for instruction and focused research.

Mediated access allows the Library to sustain our budget while providing access to streaming video content for faculty, staff and students.
