Library anxiety: A study on Bilkent University undergraduate students
No full textIn order to design effective knowledge systems for undergraduates in university libraries it is vital to spell out, in addition to their needs of information sources and services, their ideas, perceptions, and thoughts about library services, information sources, and library use in general. In this vein, one of the main goals of libraries is to minimize the library anxiety that is borne out of pessimistic feelings students do have or may have in using the library.
Library anxiety is the state of shyness, worry, and fear (due to some fundamental reasons such as barriers with staff, comfort with the library, knowledge of the library, and mechanical barriers) encountered when one is doing research by means of the library sources or services, or is generally simply using the library.
