    No it is not. Libraries have been used for >1000 years to gatekeep information and education by kings and churches. Digital media has democratized this.

    There really is no point in taking up campus space to store very expensive paper that is hard to find, and can only be accessed by one person at a time.

    My university is converting libraries to study spaces. Many modern scientific journals are only digital.
