Confirmatory Factor analysis according model was confirmed. results 6-factor Internal consistency coefficients were 0/74. Based on results can be said, 6-factor model (Barriers with information resources, barriers with computer and the Internet, barriers with library services, barriers with Searching for information, technical barriers, and barriers with topic identification) of information seeking anxiety scale is valid and reliable instrument for assessment the information seeking anxiety in university students.
