The Test Collection
This collection of standardized tests includes measures for development, intelligence, and reading, as well as culture-fair tests and other classroom measurement instruments.
NOTE: Tests do not normally circulate outside of the Ely Library due to the cost of replacement and licensing restrictions. They are like reserve items except that you must sign out each test at the Reference Desk in order to use it.
