1. You need to talk to the department heads at your university and let them know. Schedule a meeting, and when you bring up your (very valid) points, point to the rows of books on their shelf, and show them your now-extinct cards. It will be effective. 2. Give them the benefit of the doubt. They were probably trying to save you money. Others in your class probably preferred this lower-cost approach. 3. Don't just complain here about it. Your University department will never know that there is a problem unless you communicate with them about this. As long as you do it in the right way, they will appreciate the feedback. Good luck!
