Library anxiety affects around 75-85% of undergrads. It shows up in different ways—like some students thinking their library skills just aren’t good enough compared to others who seem to have it all figured out. Peer Research Coaches are here to help and totally get that anxiety. They love working with fellow students to tackle those feelings together!
