I hadn't meant to imply that I wasn't using library resources at all, simply that I'm using them much less frequently, and that my accessing of library resources, when it occurred, was indirect, via LibX-enabled links from Google, Amazon, Google Scholar, etc.--links typically based on some universal identifier like an ISBN (for a book) or DOI (for an article).
