Kanopy is our most popular streaming service here at SVA. We have a mixture
of up-front licenses and PDA licenses. No new films can be requested after
our PDA budget has been spent down. We sometimes make exceptions for
faculty requests.

We also subscribe to Art & Architecture in Video and Academic Video Online
from Alexander Street, and EAI Educational Streaming
<https://www.eai.org/educational-streaming> from Electronic Arts Intermix.
The latter is a relatively new service, and is great for video and media
art. We have a few individual streaming titles from Docuseek2 that have
been requested by faculty.

I sometimes also find things from VDB <https://www.vdb.org/> and UbuWeb
<http://www.ubu.com/>.

For anything not available from these sources, we scour the internet for
free sources or rental options on YouTube, Vimeo, Tubi, Internet Archive,
etc., with the caveat that they may not always be available. Our Office of
Learning Technology will provide digitizations of films to share behind a
password in Canvas as long as we own a physical copy of the film in the
library.
