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.
