What is the Psychology Test Library?
The Psychology Department test library is a vital resource for Psychology
Department staff and students, and a significant amount of funding is set
aside by the Department on an annual basis to ensure that
the holdings are up-to-date and extensive. Library resources are used to
teach psychological assessment to all levels of students: postgraduates
and undergraduates. Library
resources are also used by professional Masters students on placement, and for research purposes by Masters and research students and staff.
Test Library materials are for the sole use of registered borrowers only and
must not be lent or used by a third party under any circumstances.

Items Available For Borrowing
There is a comprehensive test library data base which can be searched for the range of tests, books, theses and other items. The test library has a computer which can be used for this purpose. There are also catalogues which can be accessed on this web site (see below) or in the test library.
- Psychological tests
- Books (primarily related to psychometrics and research methods)
- Student theses (Honours, Postgraduate Diploma, Masters)
- DVDs, videos and tapes
Test Material For Research Purposes
-
There are copyright restrictions on the majority of tests held in the library. This means that the photocopying of record forms/answer sheets etc is NOT permitted. Students who need to administer a test for a research project, and therefore require the use of multiple copies of protocol/record forms etc, will need to purchase these forms. In many cases Janna Enger will arrange the purchase of these forms, but test library funding does not cover such purchases. Start by speaking to your supervisor about this, and note that postgraduate students can apply for a Department Postgraduate Award to cover the cost of test materials.
-
If you require a particular test for your research that is not held in the Test Library, speak to Janna Enger. If it is a test that could be used by several people in the Department, it may be possible for it to be purchased from test library funds.
