Ask UMKC to Add Videos
- Cost to UMKC is $150-$250 for a 1-year subscription. The library primarily licenses videos needed for required course viewing by many students.
- If streaming rentals are available from Amazon, Vimeo, YouTube, etc., the library rarely subscribes. Instead, require your students to rent on their own as course materials.
