Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The authors 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, it investigates a number of theoretical models, provides an extensive framework for conducting research at the institutional level, and offers both proven and proposed strategies for prevention and intervention. If there are more nonusers than users in your community-or if you suspect your users could benefit more from the experience-let Library Anxiety ease your troubled hearts and smooth the way ahead.
