Why use it?

It gives you access to:

• Access to a large, curated catalogue of over 30,000 educational documentaries and classic films from leading producers.
• A wide range of subject coverage (e.g. Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, Education, Health and Sciences)

How do I use it?

Where can I find it?

• Go to LibrarySearch or access it via the University Services on your Blackboard.
• Log in using your CCCU username and password. If you are away from campus, or connecting with your own device over Wi-Fi, you will need to include @canterbury.ac.uk after your CCCU username.
• Select Find Databases, then click on K, finally click on the link to Kanopy to open it in a new tab.

Accessibility features

• Kanopy’s website and video player works with screen reader technologies on desktop browsers, as well as iOS and Android devices.
• The videos are accompanied by captions, subtitles and transcripts. Activate the captions via a small ‘CC’ button on the video player or place a ‘captions request’.
