at least in the USA based on my discussions with librarians ( yes I am that kind of nerd ) libraries are under attack by the federal government, they are losing their funding or having their funding severely limited where they won't be able to operate as effectively. What I think people don't realize is we are in a phase where knowledge is being centralized and put into control of a few powerful companies and the commons is under attack and being eroded.
Also true. Fortunately, piracy helps quite a bit in this circumstance when you need textbooks or academic papers and have no other options
