The Library has a new database trial running for the month of February: a demographic data resource mapping tool called PolicyMap. 

Build visualizations to better understand a wide variety of data points geographically. Access and map thousands of indicators from authoritative public and proprietary sources through the web’s largest geographic data warehouse. PolicyMap’s dedicated team expertly curates the data to ensure it is the most current and accurate available, with the greatest geographic coverage of national data available at the local level across the US. The data comes from disparate sources but is standardized to allow for simple analysis across indicators. PolicyMap also creates unique data, such as trends over time and indices that combine relevant indicators.

A trial of the database APA PsycTests® is now available through our library, enabling users to search thousands of research instruments and their psychometric properties.

There are more than 62,000 records in APA PsycTests. Searchers can limit by descriptive fields, including Methodology, Test Language and Factors/Subscales and find research instruments available as PDF downloads or multimedia files.

This trial will be available through June 30, 2024 and is accessible through our A-Z Databases List.
