Abstract

"Despite the efforts of academic libraries to develop various programs and services for users, college students still suffer from ""Library Anxiety."" Also, academic libraries need to serve a new generation called the ""Net Generation,"" those students who have grown up using developed information technology. It is important that academic libraries adopt new technologies to attract these users. This study proposes a novel research design (Regression point Displacement -- RPD) that will assess the utility of Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) during an orientation program for STEM students. Because implementation of the new technology involves an initial introduction cost, the RPD design, which requires only one treatment group, can be beneficial in the evaluation of MAR. The results of this study will determine the effectiveness of an orientation program using MAR in the context of a real life learning experience."
