The library signs up with Kanopy. Sets restrictions on who can use the service and how often, then makes it available to their patrons.

- gedy 4y agoSure, my question is why would they sign up for Kanopy if the pricing is predatory, excessive, etc that others are implying.
- Mindwipe 4y agoBecause the pricing isn't predatory, and doing it any other way would cost a thousand times more.
- stinkytaco 4y agoFor the same reason they pay $80 for a single use copy of an ebook: because users expect it and don't really care about the excuse. Users see that other libraries offer a service, they see the services they want to use and no number of spreadsheets will make them happy with answer "no".
