Selected Tests are Held in the Hicks Repository

There is a small collection of tests in the Hicks Repository for the use of Purdue University students and faculty. Please see this page (http://gemini.lib.purdue.edu/psyctests) for specific titles.  (Ignore the location specified and use Inter Library Loan to request tests--see below.)

These tests must be requested via the Inter-Library Loan request form.  They are to be examined only within libraries' premises, and copies may not be made of these tests. Once logged in to the Inter-Library Loan form, use the "Request Copy" menu choice and specify the title of the test you need.  In the Notes/Additional Information field, state that the test is held in the Hicks Repository.
