Kanopy, a video-streaming platform, was established to provide academic institutions with essential films that foster learning and conversation. In 2022, Kanopy rolled out KanopyBASE, a multidisciplinary, academic subset of ten thousand titles out of the thirty thousand hosted on the Kanopy platform.

Dexter Library has access to the KanopyBASE films, which includes films formerly found through the Media Education Foundation. Public performance rights are available for 50 percent of the collection, 60 percent of films are exclusive to Kanopy, and 90 percent of films have closed captioning.
