Media Center is a term used for many school libraries as they no longer serve as
just libraries.
Many college libraries are not just traditional libraries anymore either (and haven't been for a long time). They also serve as media services for classrooms, computer centers, tech support for students and staff, copy centers, etc. Many have access to lots of digital content repositories & databases through services like JSTOR, Academic Search Premier, SciFinder, Project Muse, ProQuest, HathiTrust, and hundreds of others.
