Conclusions of the Study
Findings of the study suggest that pre-sessions improve the affective experience students have when using the library--more positive attitude, enhanced confidence, and an intent to use the library
Comparison of pre-test and post-test scores indicated students generally felt better about the library, librarians, and research
Pre-sessions may help individuals overcome initial feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and tension
Although more study may be needed, the integration of pre-sessions into library instruction merits serious consideration in attending to the needs of individuals
