Heh...  remember 'Media Centers' ? (how 60's)

The term and concept of "Library" has a long and honorable 
history.  I see no need to change the term.  It's interesting, 
though... my old library was officially the "Media Center" for over 
ten years before I came there.  NO one EVER called it that.  Faculty, 
staff, and students all referred to it unfailingly as "the library".
