Research indicates an issue among students is anxiety caused by library use. Negative effects of library anxiety include poor academic performance, underachievement, failure, insecurity, and psychological distress. Library anxiety may hinder students' mental and creative processes when conducting academic research. Whether a student is searching for information within a physical library or conducting an electronic search for information within a virtual library, library use can result in psychological anxiety. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to describe, explain, and map the pattern of themes related to library anxiety experienced by users of virtual libraries within the United States. Content data analysis was achieved through the use of Dedoose, which revealed eight themes: situations in the virtual library contributing to anxiety, situations while using the virtual library contributing to frustration, situations while using the virtual library contributing to stress, situations presenting challenges while using the virtual library, descriptions of virtual library users' experiences, situations while using the virtual library contributing to confusion, level of training received to understand how to use and navigate a virtual library, and descriptions of an ideal virtual library. A description of participants' experiences aligned with current literature, which led to recommendations to improve students' virtual library experiences. Research results may be valuable in helping stakeholders understand anxiety experienced by virtual library users and create solutions to help students cope with stressful situations while conducting virtual research.
