Borrowing Privileges

Library books can be checked out to emeritus faculty for the semester. Sound recordings can be checked out for a week. Faculty loans are subject to recall when there are other requests for the materials. Check View My Library Record for a list of materials checked out to you, to renew any of your materials or check on the status of requested Link+ items. Interlibrary Services requests can be made online.

Get Connected  

To use library resources after retirement, Emeritus faculty members must have an Emeritus library account. One requests Emeritus status from one's Dean, who then writes to the Provost, who then writes to the President. The official letter is sent by the President.

  1. Present the President's letter to the Card Center, (408) 924-CARD (2273) to be issued an Emeritus Faculty card.
  2. Present the card to the Library, Circulation Department, (408)808-2000, to be entered into the database. Library Hours.
