AB - This study analyzes the correlation between the library anxiety and personality traits. The library anxiety (LAS) and personality traits (the Korean BFI) were measured against 49 freshmen in the university. The library anxiety was average 2.57, ‘mechanical barriers’ score was the highest(2.91), subsequently was ‘affective barriers’ 2.72, ‘barriers with staff’ 2.49, ‘knowledge of library’ 2.42, and ‘comfort with the library’ score was the lowest(2.38). The personality traits had the tendency that ‘agreeableness’f actor(3.65) is higher than other 4 factors, ‘neuroticism’(3.48), ‘extraversion’(3.27), ‘openness’(2.85), and ‘conscientiousness’ (3.26). It found that ‘comfort with the library’ and ‘neuroticism’ were correlated statistically and the personality traits have an effect on library anxiety. Based on the findings, the following recommendations are made: improving the measurement tool of information anxiety, using other personality traits variables in similar researches, and developing personalized library anxiety resolution programs.
