Abstract:
This study investigates technology-induced library anxiety among Shri B M Patil Medical College and Research Centre, Vijayapura, Karnataka, India, focusing on whether gender is a significant factor. Data were collected using a survey method to assess technology-induced library anxiety. The results reveal that female students experience significantly higher technology anxiety compared to their male peers. Addressing these differences is crucial for fostering an inclusive and equitable learning environment where all users can effectively utilise library resources to succeed academically.
