Can Emeritus Faculty check out books? What about accessing databases?
Yes to both questions. According to Faculty Advancement, one of the privileges of Emeritus status is the following:
"Library: Emeritus faculty retain all Library privileges available to active teaching faculty."
See the Faculty Advancement website for all policies and privileges: https://fa.sdsu.edu/temporary/retirement
