This assignment requires you to view, Abolish The Death Penalty: A Debate, a video available
electronically from John Jay Library’s ‘Streaming Collection’.
I have added a web link to the video in the content area. However, as it does not always properly
upload, I have also included step-by-step instructions to find it directly from our library.
To find the ‘Streaming Video Collection’ follow the steps below.
- Go to the JJ Library Homepage. https://www.lib.jjay.cuny.edu
- At the top left select the ‘Find’ drop-down menu and then select ‘Streaming Video Collection’ on
the middle right side part of the page. - At the middle of the page select ‘Films on Demand’.
- Type in the film you wish to view in the search bar at the top of the page.
- Enjoy the movie.
