    Overcoming Resistance: Motivating Students to Join the Information Age
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 1997) MacKay, Gail; Kanzler, Joni
    The suggestions gathered from the Talk Table can assist both the public library patron and the academic library student in gaining confidence in using the library. In the discussion, patron resistance was generally seen as anxiety created by inexperience withusing libraries. The experience of the participants reflected that when students and patrons become oriented to the library, resistance and hesitation greatly diminish. Ideas offered by the group fell mainly into the categories of library resources and library instruction.
