English-use anxiety in Israeli college libraries.
Abstract
In high-tech, highly educated small language communities, college students are often dependent on non-native language material, usually English, for their studies and research. In a study of library anxiety among Israeli college students, applying English language skills for the specific purpose of computerized library searches in an academic library environment was found to be the single most debilitating factor. This result proved consistent regardless of student's age, gender, year of study or native language.
