Regis library access

One place to check what Dayton Memorial Library actually licenses, so no study page has to guess. Every other page on this site links here instead of restating access claims. If a link breaks or a subscription changes, this is the only page that needs editing.

Verified 2026-08-21 against the Regis A-Z Databases list (253 databases at time of check). Subscriptions change — re-verify before relying on a “no”.

Tests & measurements

Regis tags exactly two databases under its Tests & measurements type. Both are yours at no cost.

Resource	Access	What it gets you
APA PsycTestsvia Regis A-Z list	Licensed	Instruments themselves. APA describes it as focused primarily on unpublished tests, with downloadable instruments and, where the source document reported them, reliability, validity, and factor-analysis data. This is the first place to look when you need to actually see items.
HaPI — Health and Psychosocial Instrumentsvia Regis A-Z list	Licensed	Per Regis’s own description: information about behavioral measurement instruments, abstracted from hundreds of journals across the health and psychosocial sciences, plus instruments from industrial/organizational behavior and education.
Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY)Buros Center for Testing	Not listed	Not in the Regis A-Z database list as of the check date. To get MMY reviews you either buy them individually through the Buros Online Shop, or request the review or the print volume through interlibrary loan. Confirm with the Research Help Desk before assuming print holdings exist.
Tests in Print (TIP)Buros Center for Testing	Not listed	Same situation as MMY — the two are bundled in the EBSCO product Regis does not appear to license. Searchable through the same Buros shop interface.

Do not repeat this mistake: the assumption that a university library “of course” carries MMY is what put a wrong access claim on the Finding Assessments tool. Regis does not carry it. Check this page, not intuition.

Psychology & counseling databases

The full Psychology subject list at Regis, as of the check date. The ones that matter for assessment and literature work:

Resource	Access	Use it for
APA PsycInfoflagged “Best Bet” by Regis	Licensed	Citations and abstracts from over 2,000 psychology journals, 1872–present. Validation studies and psychometrics. Regis notes it links out to full text in PsycArticles and Academic Search Premier.
APA PsycArticles	Licensed	Full text for APA journals — where PsycInfo hands you off.
PILOTSPublished International Literature On Traumatic Stress	Licensed	Trauma literature specifically. Domain-specific — useful when your construct is trauma, not a general starting point.
Academic Search Premier · EBSCOhost	Licensed	General full-text backstop when a PsycInfo record has no direct link.
Also licensed	Licensed	ERIC, Credo Reference, Oxford Handbooks Online, Psychotherapy.net, ScienceDirect, Social Sciences Full Text, Wiley Online Library, Communication & Mass Media Complete, Annual Reviews, Psychology & Behavioral Sciences Collection (new/trial).

Open question — needs your login. Regis does not state which platform PsycInfo runs on. The description cross-links Academic Search Premier (an EBSCO product) and EBSCOhost is listed separately, so EBSCOhost is likely — but it is not confirmed. This matters because field codes differ: SU(), AG(), TM are EBSCOhost syntax; Ovid and ProQuest use different syntax. Open PsycInfo once, note the platform, and update this page.

When Regis does not have it

Interlibrary loan — Circulation & ILL, 303-458-4030. Works for MMY print volumes and for individual articles.
Research Help Desk — 303-458-4031, library@regis.edu, or schedule a consultation. Fastest way to settle a “do we have X” question definitively.
Buy the single review — the Buros Online Shop sells individual MMY reviews. Buros covers more than 3,500 commercially available tests, over 2,800 with reviews available for purchase.
Free alternatives — the ETS Test Collection is open to search (obtaining a test still depends on its Availability field), and clinical practice guidelines (VA/DoD, APA, NICE) name the instruments the field treats as standard.

Buros sells reviews, not tests. Per its purchase policy, Buros “does not sell or otherwise make available specific tests (these must be obtained from the test publisher).” Buros tells you whether an instrument is defensible; the publisher supplies it.

Sources: Regis A-Z Databases, filtered by Tests & measurements and Psychology; Mental & Behavioral Health Research Guide. Database descriptions quoted or paraphrased from Regis’s own listings. A resource marked “Not listed” means it did not appear in the A-Z list on the check date — that is strong evidence of no database subscription, but it is not evidence about print holdings or interlibrary loan.
