I commend to your reading Rob Preston's "Down to Business" column in this week's Information Week magazine. The online version is here.
Titled, "In a Gray World, Why Do We See in Black and White?," Preston makes the point that there is a difference "between conviction and blind obedience." While he is writing about the IT world, you can substitute analogous library terms and suddenly his thoughts are totally, eerily relevant to us.

Thank you for passing this article on to us. Was I supposed to be able to think of people I know who fit many of the characteristics described? I was actually frightened by how many of the characteristics are shared by some of my co-workers (narrow-mindedness, insular comforts zones, etc.) There will be a copy passed around to see if anyone recognizes him- or her-self.
