Many instruments are proprietary and are only available via purchase.
Libraries typically do not own collections of instruments.
An instrument must be purchased directly from the publisher or copyright holder.
Some, but not all, journal articles make the full-text of the instrument available as an appendix.
Finding research instruments and tests can be a difficult task. The purpose of this guide is to help make that task easier by providing information about where and how to find tests.
Databases: Search for information on published & unpublished instruments, find articles about instruments, get full-text instrument when available.
Web Resources: Links to tests for specific health care groups, freely available tests, and tests that have been translated into other languages.
