 "I am so intimidated by the library—as soon as I walk in I feel overwhelmed and frustrated that I don't have a clue what I’m doing. I put off all my research until the last minute, and when I finally do get to the library, I have no idea where to start."
Did you know that Library Anxiety is an actual condition? Symptoms include:
