How can I request a film on Kanopy?
Kanopy is unique in that we maintain a small library of films by request. If you are teaching a course and would like to use a particular film, you can request it for your course by filling out the Request for Access form on the film's landing page.

Please let us know what course you are using it for and how long you expect to use it. Kanopy typically offers 1- and 3-year licenses, and we want to make sure we get the one that best fits your needs.
Please note that the request system is not automatic, although we try to have a quick turnaround time between request and activation. If you have more questions about how Kanopy works, please contact the eresources librarian: Meredith Powers (mpowers@york.cuny.edu)
