Purpose of the Test Collection
The purpose of the Peabody Library Test Collection is to serve the classroom, curriculum and research needs of Vanderbilt University. Given their expense and licensing restrictions, tests are purchased only at the request of faculty licensed to administer the test.
Checking Out Materials From the Test Collection
Access to the test collection is limited to licensed/qualified 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 these constituents in order to maintain the validity of the tests. The collection is maintained in locked files.
Requesting a Test

While all attempts at accommodating needs for materials will be met, there is no guarantee that a test request will be completed the day the test request is received.
