Kanopy films operates under a Patron Driven Acquisitions model.  This means that the library has access to a large collection of titles, but purchases only the titles that the users actually use.  Once a film has been viewed several times, the library will be billed for that title and will have unlimited streaming access to the film for a 1-year period.  

This ensures that we only purchase titles that our patrons are interested in viewing.  Everyone wins!

Madison College Libraries is proud to present Kanopy, our newest on-demand streaming film database.  Log in to find  independent, international, classic, or documentary films!  

 

In Kanopy, you can now watch must-see classic films from The Criterion Collection, learn about every subject imaginable from The Great Courses and PBS, or indulge in festival indie or world cinema sourced from award-winning filmmakers globally.  Kanopy can be accessed 24/7 on or off campus, and all films come with public performance rights.  Check it out today!
