I study at the Sexton Campus and I don't know what to tell you - whenever I go to the library I almost always have a hard time finding a desk.
As for print being on the way out, I don't buy it, especially with regard to academia. The amount of published material out there is simply too vast for it to be even begun to be comprehensively categorized electronically and there's always going to be a need to access supposedly outdated media in acdemic/professional fields (Dalhousie's architecture program is highly respected specifically BECAUSE of its focus is on traditional media). Just because you can buy the latest John Grisham novel off of your iPad dosen't mean that books at large are about to become extinct any time soon.
