Kanopy is an online video streaming service. 

Cal State LA's Kanopy subscription currently includes "a select group of titles" that support the campus curriculum.

If you encounter a title in Kanopy that you'd like to access (that's not part of our current collection) you can click a link to request it.  We cannot guarantee that we'll be able to add it (it depends on the supplier, cost, and available library funds) but we'll investigate it and let you know.  FYI -- The LA County/Public Library systems also have Kanopy and they offer a much larger collection.  Please see this page for more info.
 

Please Note:  This is a Cal State LA resource.  You'll need to sign-in to use this database from off-campus.

Information about streaming media accessibility can be found here.

The Kanopy films can be viewed on your iPhones, iPads, and Android phones and tablets using Apps.  Your first step is to download the app for iPhone or iPad from the Apple App Store, or download the app for Android phones and tablets from the Google Play Store.  To use the app, you'll need a Kanopy account associated with Cal State LA.
