This study examines the correlation of the dimensions of foreign language anxiety and library anxiety among undergraduates at a public university in Malaysia. The Malay translated versions of the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) and the Library Anxiety Scale (LAS) were completed by 147 students pursuing a Foundation in Science course. Analysis revealed a significant correlation in all the dimensions of library anxiety with three of the dimensions of foreign language anxiety, namely speaking anxiety , self-evaluation anxiety , and learner anxiety . The findings in this study will enable librarians to be aware of the anxieties faced by students which can help in the planning and delivery of services and instruction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
