Scary?

"And then, of course, there was the sheer size of the library; tens of thousands of books; thousands of shelves; hundreds of narrow rows." (1)

Studies have found that most students suffer some degree of 'library anxiety'. Comments in one study included words like ‘scary’ and ‘lost’. We hope you don't think our library is scary, but if you do feel at all lost when you're first finding your way around, it might help to know that you're not alone in feeling that way.

If you have any trouble finding what you need, please don't hesitate to ask the library staff: we're here to help! Business librarians can be found on floor 1A in office number ML107.
