Abstract

This study analytically examined library anxiety that various users felt when they use public libraries, by measuring it on K-LAS. The findings show that the library anxiety is varied depending on users’ age, gender, academic careers, usage purposes, frequency of use and size of libraries. It suggested the guidance and education about the use of libraries, environmental improvement based on the remodeling of libraries, wearing of nameplates written in big characters for identifying librarians and the education for users’ understanding and the provision of device and equipment manuals according the levels of users’ experiences, as measures for overcoming the library anxiety, enhancing usage satisfaction and activating usage.
