Kanopy Streaming Service This link opens in a new window
Due to rapidly rising expenses with Kanopy, the library purchases a video there only after a UNO professor confirms that all students in a class are required to view it and no other access is available. The library encourages the UNO community to explore the many thousands of films available in Academic Video Online, Films on Demand, and the PBS Video Collection. These video services overlap considerably with Kanopy and do not require a special request to the library.
