Description: "In Library Anxiety: Theory Research, and Applications, Onwuegbuzie, Jiao, and Bostick provide us with the first in-depth look at the origins and subsequent evolution of this fascinating field of study. Beginning with a discussion of the Library Anxiety Scale, the most widely used measure of library anxiety among college and university students, they investigate a number of theoretical models, provide an extensive framework for conducting research at the institutional level, and offer both research-based and proposed strategies for prevention and intervention."--BOOK JACKET.
