How to locate textbooks, reserve items (books and DVDs) and electronic reserves

College bookstore

John Jay's bookstore is online. You can search by course or you can log in with your CUNYfirst credentials to see a personalized list of your course materials.

Borrowing textbooks in the library

Books in our textbook collection are kept at the Reserve Desk on the lower floor of the library, and can be borrowed for up to 3 hours. When you go to the Reserve Desk, you will need the book's title and call number. For help on using the CUNY+ catalog to find the call number, see How to find books »

See if your textbook is available to be borrowed by searching the title in CUNY+ and be prepared to note the call number.

See this page for information about using scanners.
