Hi all,
We have recently had an instructor request for access to the Amazon original series Transparent. The original request was for a DVD version, however there are no legitimate DVD versions available. Having been a graduate student quite recently myself, I know that many instructors (myself included) have made do accessing these streaming services via personal subscriptions to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. Now, however, as an acquisitions librarian, I'm wondering how other libraries might be handling requests for access to these streaming, subscription services before the shows are available for purchase on DVD.
I just checked with Kanopy, and they are not currently offering this service, nor do they have immediate future plans to do so.
I would be very interested in any ideas and suggestions you all have. I would be happy to compile feedback and email what I learn to anyone else interested, as well.
