Kanopy
Kanopy Video is a streaming service made available to Hilbert College by McGrath Library.
Kanopy uses a Patron-Driven Access Model for Invoices/Billing
- Videos are free until they are accessed 4 times (for more than 30 seconds).
- Once they are accessed 4 times within a calendar year a purchase is triggered.
- After a purchase is triggered, we have unlimited access to the video for only 365 days.
- Access to purchases is limited automatically.
If you would like McGrath Library to investigate acquiring any of the videos on Kanopy in a permanent form (DVD), please fill out a purchase request form. Take advantage of any strategy that will minimize costs. If you have any questions, please email askus@hilbert.edu or mlaidman@hilbert.edu.

Links to Citation Guides and Tools
The goal of a bibliographic citation is to allow the reader of a document to easily locate the information that was referenced in the document. Professors require a bibliography, or list of references, with research papers.
