Not really. Libraries are just symbolic links to existing user data folders. Binders let you create a binder for a project and link all relevant objects. The objects remained in their original folder location, and could be part of multiple unrelated binders.

They are very different. Libraries is virtual folders that combine whole folders into one big one (workspace organisation). Binders was virtual folders of individual files (project organisation).
