This is a guide to selected test and measurement materials available in the University Libraries

Tests are either “published” or “unpublished.” Published tests are available commercially and are more widely used, tend to be easier to locate, and may have established norms and standards.  Unpublished tests may be difficult to locate and may have unsettled validity and reliability issues.  Finding information about a test is usually not difficult, and the following list of reference sources may help.  Locating a complete copy of a specific test may be difficult. The section of  this guide entitled “Test Collections,” offers some suggestions for locating a copy of a specific test.

Journals

Search Journal One Search for holdings. Years of coverage vary per title. Copies of articles in titles that the UL does not own can be requested through Interlibrary Loan. Due to the April 30, 2006 fire in Zimmerman Library, print journals previously located there are currently unavailable. All the surviving periodicals and microforms were shipped out of state for cleaning and further assessment. An opening date for the heavily damaged basement level has not yet been determined. None of the journals or microforms sent for cleaning and restoration will be returned until the basement can be re-opened. Please use Interlibrary Loan to request copies of articles from these publications. ILL is only available to UNM students, faculty and staff.
