I'm afraid that it is. The library as a separate entity is a 
consequence of print technology. Electronically accessible 
publications make the "library" ubiquitous.

Rather that pushing for for the library to be an isolated entity you 
should be pushing for the library to have a presence on every course 
page, and I don't mean links to the library's home page, I mean links 
to content provided by the library relevant to that page.
