Find and Borrow Streaming & Physical Media

Finding and borrowing DVDs, VHS tapes, and streaming films, including documentaries and feature titles.

Find DVDs and VHS Tapes

Please ask for DVDs & VHS tapes 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.      

Browse our list of DVDs (titles & call numbers, list updated 2020). 

Borrow DVDs or VHS Tapes

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--Reserve a DVD

Faculty members may use our Video Reservation Form to reserve DVDs and VHS tapes in advance for classroom use.
