Chicago State University’s Gwendolyn Brooks Library decision to trial and acquire
Kanopy, A Patro-Driven-Acquisition video streaming service, was completely a
patron-demand-driven undertaking. The decision to obtain this service was led by faculty
interest in the resource and ranged from the initial inquiry for a trial by a foreign
language faculty member to its PDA model, which has allowed faculty to select the films
purchased. The article discusses the acquisition process, set-up steps for making the
trial and then the resource available to the CSU community, and the steps taken to
promote the resource.
