Kanopy is a video streaming service that provides access to over 26,000 films with broad and interdisciplinary content. The films are mostly documentaries, but Kanopy also includes classic and popular films in its portfolio. Kanopy is growing quickly as the service adds about 400 films each month. All films come with public performance rights, so group viewings at HKS and across Harvard are encouraged. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:hul.eresource:Kanopy |

We invite you to mingle with HKS Library staff while enjoying refreshments at our ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE on September 23rd from 2-4 p.m.
If you are new to HKS, you probably met one or more members of the HKS Library Research Team during orientation week. Come meet the entire staff including our Access Services Team, who are here to help you get your books and answer your questions at the front desk, our Online Course Materials Team, and Library Director. You will also learn more about HKS Library Services and have the chance to enter a drawing to win a prize.
The event will be held in our Library Commons, a popular study space for students early in the morning, before 8 a.m., and later in the evening, as it remains open two hours after the Main Library closes. Here you can also enjoy a selection of student photographs and Policy Analysis Exercise (PAE) and Second Year Policy Analysis (SYPA) posters. Many of the photographs on display in the Library Commons and throughout the Library were submitted by Tomás Insua, a second year MPA candidate and his wife Vicky Pizzini. Visit their blog, HALF OF US: Ten Months in Asia, to learn more.
