Specialized tests are often utilized in Education and Psychology research. The University of California at Davis does not collect "tests" but we do offer access to evaluation and assessment literature, test locators and test critiques. Some of these are listed below. People interested in learning more about a sppecific test may also turn to the electronic databases Health and Psychosocial Instruments (HAPI) and PsycINFO.

Health and Psychosocial Instruments [via Ovid]

HAPI is an index to journal articles and other sources about measurement tools used in in the health fields, psychosocial sciences, organizational behavior, and library and information science. HAPI includes citations to questionnaires, interview schedules, checklists, index measures, coding schemes/ manuals, rating scales, projective techniques, vignettes/scenarios, tests. It is an excellent source for locating or reviewing health and psychosocial measurement instruments. NOTE: There are a limited number of simultaneous users so please logoff when finished.

ETS Test Collection

The ETS Test Collection includes an extensive library of 20,000 tests and other measurement devices from the early 1900s to the present. The collection is the largest in the world. It was established to make information on standardized tests and research instruments available to researchers, graduate students, and teachers. The tests contained in this collection were acquired from a variety of U.S. publishers and individual test authors. Foreign tests are also included in the collection, including some from Canada, Great Britain, and Australia.
