- Library Anxiety among Undergraduates Enrolled in a Research Methods in Psychology Course Platt, Jessica Platt, Tyson L. Anxiety Undergraduate Students Research Methodology Psychology Student Attitudes Academic Libraries Library Skills Search Strategies Information Skills Pretests Posttests Information Literacy Training Black Colleges Likert Scales Program Effectiveness The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which organized training on accessing library resources affects library anxiety. The researchers revised and used the Multidimensional Library Anxiety Scale created by D. J. Van Kampen-Breit, which was designed to assess an individual's perception of an academic library and the information search process. Participants were given a pretest prior to information literacy sessions and a posttest following these sessions. Data analysis suggests a significant decrease in students' anxiety levels following information literacy training sessions. The results of this study were applied to C. C. Kuhlthau's Information Search Process model and have implications for librarians, instructors, and students regarding factors related to library anxiety and its effective management.
