Aaron Tay writes about how libraries have tendency to what
other libraries are doing then follow suit. And he made an observation that the
greatest strength libraries have is that they share information and this in
fact could turn into a potential weakness. He also points out that sometimes we
copy an idea but without considering if it makes sense or fits in with our
ideals or in fact if there is a better way to do it.
I agree with Aaron to some degree. It is far easier to
use something you know works and the hard yard has already been done for you.
And sometimes the world of new thinking and new ideas is hard, really hard. But
sometimes you need to take a chance because it might pay off in the long run.
