Even in library school in 2004, I had some professors who didn't understand the difference between "open web" and "peer reviewed journal to which the university's primary access is via a computer". To be sure, some professors actually did want us to use print resources: Balay, various encyclopedias, some CQ publications we only had in print, its center. Teaching prospective librarians how to value a high-quality print reference collection is a wonderful thing. But that is different from using the right resources to find the information you need, and in this day and age, a lot of institutions (such as yours) have more digital than print, especially in recent fields and in the sciences.
On the other hand, I think it's very reasonable to tell your students that they have to limit their open-Web citations to a bare minimum. And it would be kind of neat to do a bibliographic instruction research project in conjunction with the faculty member in which the student did an assisted literature search with a tutor looking over their shoulder to make sure that the "fulltext" box never got checked. It would be pedagogically cool if you could turn on an interface to an index/abstract database that HID whether or not there was fulltext and available until after the abstract had been read, and the student had the opportunity to check a box adding the article to a shopping cart. Then, if it turned out that the items in the shopping cart weren't available, part of the assignment would be the students still had to follow through and obtain those articles by hook or by crook. Which, these days, with automatic plug-ins from most subscription databases into interlibrary loan systems, would be pretty trivial, anyway. Which is a lesson in and of itself!
