| contents | An Exploratory Study of Library Anxiety in Developmental Education Students Lee, Scott W. College Libraries Anxiety Two Year College Students Remedial Instruction English Instruction Community Colleges Interviews Student Attitudes This study examined Library Anxiety in a cohort of developmental English students. Levels of anxiety were measured in 191 students using Bostick's Library Anxiety Scale. Thirteen of those students were then interviewed about their use, knowledge and valuation of their campus library. The results of the interviews were compared against the measured anxiety levels. While use of the library had connections to levels of Library Anxiety, library knowledge was primarily affected by the behaviors and attitudes of classroom instructors. Students held high opinions of the library, and librarians; however, this did not result in better use of it or its resources. (Contains 4 tables.) |
