Notfred, the libraries have wised up since then.
And prices for books, esp. irreplaceable, or hard-to-replace originals, often out of print, have risen dramatically too.
Some rare books you can find online, even at reasonable prices-- some not-- but University libraries have standard policies-- which often require payment of huge replacement and "processing" fines-- I wonder how processing fines can be that expensive-- someone has to pay for the upkeep, I suppose.
Been there, done that.
