Kanopy is a streaming media service with a vast collection of popular movies, classic films, indie releases, documentaries, and more. Users can access the Kanopy collection for free through membership of participating libraries. Available titles will vary.
- Indiana University Libraries gives priority to requests for Kanopy content to instructors who are utilizing the videos in their courses. However, once a video has been licensed for use as IU, all IU affiliates will have access to it. A list of currently available titles can be found here. When accessing Kanopy via your affiliation with the IU libraries, you will be asked to sign in via the standard IU two-step authentication.

- If you are a Monroe County resident (including students enrolled at IU), you may obtain a free Monroe County Public Library membership, which allows the ability to stream any Kanopy title in the collection. Each MCPL patron will received 30 Kanopy “tickets” per month, which may be redeemed for access to Kanopy videos (with each title costing various amounts of tickets).
