Library anxiety is real. The phenomenon, which involves feeling
intimidated, embarrassed, and overwhelmed by libraries and librarians, was
first identified by Constance A. Mellon in 1986. Her paper, "Library
Anxiety: A Grounded Theory and Its Development," reported that college
students in particular are prone to library anxiety because they believe
their research skills are inadequate, which makes them feel ashamed and
unwilling to talk to the very librarians who might be able to ease their
worries.
