Where are your faculty and current students during this argument?  
This is where your pre-existing standing in the university comes into 
play.  If the faculty and students already care about you, they will 
care where you are located on the campus home page, but your 
location on the home page won't make them care about you if they 
don't already.  When our university redesigned the home page 
recently, the webmaster buried the library three levels down.  When 
I saw it and mentioned the problem, she said that several faculty 
had already complained about not being able to find a link to the 
library.  By the time I spoke to her, the webmaster was already 
redesigning the page, and the library now is prominently located on 
the campus home page.  Surely you have some faculty with 
influence who will speak up on the library's behalf.
