The thing that makes capturing the Great Library so appealing is that it can help you out in the tech race no matter what type of civ you are using. Its one of the few wonders that can potentially help any playing strategy (cultural, military, tech-based, whatever). Most other wonders only...

The reason I asked is because the Great Library is very valuable for tech research, but at least one of the AIs usually ends up building it anyway.

Other civs can usually be reasoned with; barbs cannot. Disperse all their settlements and take the money before the AI civs do. Note that you will not have this option on higher difficulties, when the AI civs will wipe out all the barbs before you do.
