If the core function of the university library's archival system is not providing free access to their collection, then what is its core function?

The core function is being obstructed by irresponsible AI bot traffic taking down their catalogs and archives and preventing humans from having access. Bots have never been the intended audience of library content.

First function is archival and preservation, second is access for university students and researchers. It’s not Anna’s archive or TIA
