Collection Development Policy

The Lloyd Sealy Library seeks to advance the mission of John Jay College of Criminal Justice by focusing its acquisitions on the fields of criminal justice and related areas of public safety and public service. To that end, we acquire print and electronic material at the appropriate research level relating to criminal justice, forensic psychology, public administration, protection management and forensic science. We do this with the goal of supporting research and teaching in those areas.

We collect materials in the supporting social sciences as fully as our budget will allow. Resources in other subjects are purchased as we are able to afford them, and most of that is in the form of reference material.

In addition, we aim to support the curriculum as a whole in terms of specific course assignment materials, except for textbooks.

As part of the University consortium, we make decisions in the context of the 19 campuses that make up CUNY, and this enriches and enhances our users’ access to both print and electronic media in a wide range of subjects.
