Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY) with Tests in Print

Our subscription to Mental Measurements Yearbook is now provided by EBSCO and hosted on the EBSCOhost interface. This replaces the previous subscription we had through Ovid/Silver Platter.

With this change in vendor, we will also have access to an electronic version of Tests in Print incorporated into the database. Below is a comparison these two resources:
  • MMY consists of descriptive entries, references and critical reviews of commercially published tests, published in English. Each MMY includes reviews of tests that are new or substantially revised since the previous edition.
  • TIP is a comprehensive volume describing every test that is currently available for purchase.
  • Not all tests and measures are reviewed in MMY and there are somewhat firm requirements that tests must meet to be featured.
  • Because not all tests are reviewed in MMY, TIP is necessary to identify and locate tests which are available and in print, but not widely popular or used enough to be featured in MMY.
