About our collections

Please ask for DVDs & VHS by call number at the Reserve Desk on the lower floor of the Library.  Faculty may borrow for up to three days; everyone else can watch the film in the Library; in our media room or on a computer with headphones.

Where may students view a DVD or VHS?

DVDs can be viewed on any Library computer, use your own headphones or borrow ours. All library computers have DVD drives. The small media room can be reserved, and has both DVD and VHS players.

Who can check out a DVD or VHS?

As DVDs and VHD are intended for classroom or individual viewing at John Jay College, our loan periods are short. John Jay Faculty may borrow for a 3-day loan period and can request an extension prior to the due date at libvideo@jjay.cuny.edu. All other CUNY faculty and all CUNY (including John Jay) students get a 3-hour loan period and must watch the videos in the Library. Non-CUNY patrons need to arrange a guest pass into the Library and then arrangements can be made for them to view a video on premises.  

Faculty should reserve DVDs in advance for classroom use.
