Previously, when university libraries had books and paper journals, anyone could read them. Now, members of the general public are not licensed to read electronic content there.

So digitization has reduced the reach of the content, not increased it.

Many libraries have computers for accessing the catalog, which now includes all the digital media. You make a good argument for why they should if they don't already.
