The purpose of the Peabody Library Test Collection is to serve the classroom, teaching and research needs of Peabody College.
Access to the test collection is limited to licensed faculty or graduate students under direct faculty supervision due to the ethical and legal requirements stated by test publishers. It is essential that the use of the test collection be limited to the constituents listed below in order that the validity of the tests is not compromised.1
The collection is maintained in locked files. Please make arrangements for a Library Staff member to retrieve testing materials. Authorized users must present a valid VU ID card for check-out.
For questions and inquiries regarding tests, please contact Lara Beth Lehman (call 322-8226 or send Lara Beth a message).
