"Tests and Measures in the Social Sciences" (TMSS) is an online index to tests and measurement resources appearing in 140 handbooks (also referred to as compilation volumes) used to measure human characteristics in psychology, counseling, social work, health, and other fields. This index was created to "help students who are writing academic papers."  Each document that is part of the TMSS index represents a handbook containing the full text of tests; many of these handbooks are available in academic libraries  Check Rod Library to learn whether we have each handbook. (If Rod Library does not own them, you may wish to try our Interlibrary Loan Service.)  Formerly TMdb, TMSS was created by Helen Hough, Systems Librarian emeritus at the University of Texas at Arlington.
