Aaron – good question! Academics, help me out … but I think academic libraries have competition, too. Google, B&N; are definitely competitors. Google for basic research, B&N; for alternative university commons.

Possibly, there's less competition at the graduate level and up… But for undergraduates, I think there's some steep competition going on.
