Abstract: Library instruction positively impacts library anxiety and students' reluctance to use library resources. The flipped classroom instruction model is a useful tool for librarians faced with a class with no focusing component. This article presents the findings of a flipped classroom designed to help students improve confidence in accessing the physical library space and navigating both physical and electronic library resources. The framework discussed takes place in an entry-level class without an assignment to focus library instruction. Findings from a pre- and post-test analysis show a promising increase in student confidence levels following library instruction through this model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
