(i.e., Education Hanging Bag, Education Juvenile, Education Juvenile Big Book, Education Media, Education Oversize)

It may also be helpful to:

Tests and Assessments

A small collection of educational and psychological tests, primarily supporting the School Psychology program, is available.  This collection is for educational purposes only, such as teaching students to administer these tests.  Tests for use in research studies should be obtained elsewhere.

A small number of the tests are findable in the UCR Library Catalog: https://bit.ly/2z2VpFa.

A list of the remaining tests is available here. 

Items in the test collection may only be viewed or checked out of the library for a two-week period by students who have permission from a faculty member in the Graduate School of Education. 

If you need to view or check out any item in the test collection, please contact the Teaching and Learning Services Coordinator, Christopher Martone, for an appointment at 951-827-3715 or Christopher.martone@ucr.edu.  Faculty members should contact Christopher Martone with the names of students who have their permission to use the collection.
