>Undergraduates rarely needed to access the physical books, since they're told to buy almost all the books they need for each class anyway.

I fell for this trap in my freshman year, but by my second year of undergrad i discovered that even though the syllabus might say i had to buy textbooks, the library actually did have copies of pretty much everything i needed.

In undergrad, a couple people in a class would make a mad dash to the library after receiving the syllabus so they could grab the one or two copies of the textbook. I can't recall ever beating them to it.
