University mathematics libraries certainly still have the volumes on the
shelf. The question is whether they will let you into the library. The
last time I checked, the MIT and Princeton science libraries allowed
the general public to walk in without an ID card, but Harvard did not.

Are there other universities which bar the general public from entering
their math/science libraries?
