Library Anxiety: Use of Information

Library anxiety is a real phenomenon that can hurt your ability to complete your coursework and do library research. This guide talks about what library anxiety is and some ways to overcome it.

Use of Information

4.1 Engage with the source (read, listen, view, touch)

Most likely you will need to read, view, or listen to your source. You are looking for the information you need. You may not need to read, listen to, or view all of your source's information. You may be able to skip around, finding subheadings and topic sentences (read the first sentence in each paragraph) that will take you to your information.

4.2 Take out the relevant information from a source

It's time to take some notes.
