contents Student Affect Regarding Library-Based and Web-Based Research before and after an Information Literacy Course Bell, Judy Carol Information Literacy Library Instruction Information Seeking Academic Libraries Internet Anxiety College Students Student Attitudes Emotional Response Student Surveys Likert Scales Gender Differences Age Differences Affective responses toward library- and web-based research were measured in surveys administered before and after an eight-week, one-credit-hour, university course in information literacy. Affect refers to attitudinal and emotional responses as measured via Likert scale questions regarding: like-dislike, difficulty-ease, confidence-anxiety, and interest-boredom. Approximately 90 students participated. Affective responses to web-based research (WR) did not appreciably change and remained more positive than responses to library-based research (LR). However, affect responses to LR increased positively by 9 percent for all students. The most notable LR affect increases among sub-groups were: (1) 13 percent among males and (2) 28 percent among the 21-24 age group. (Numbers are rounded.) (Contains 1 note, 3 tables, and 1 figure.)
