Database aggregator EBSCO Publishing, US, and the American Psychological Association have signed an agreement that will enable PsycTESTS to be accessible via EBSCOhost, a for-fee electronic resource for libraries around the world. PsycTESTS seeks to provide academic institutions, mental health centres, hospitals and government agencies with access to descriptive summaries, full text and relevant citations on the development and assessment of tests and measures.
PsycTESTS is said to serve as a repository for the full text (when available) of psychological tests and measures as well as a source of structured information about tests of relevance to psychologists and professionals in related fields. These include psychiatry, management, business, education, social science, neuroscience, law, medicine and social work. Updated monthly, PsycTESTS includes unpublished tests, tests developed by psychologists for which no source document has been located, and information about published tests available from commercial publishers.
PsycTESTS supports SmartLinking to other subscribed EBSCO databases, which allows users to easily follow an article citation in one database to the full text of that same article in another database. With this feature, PsycTESTS customers can easily link over to their other EBSCO psychology databases.
