Assessment Materials Resource Centre

• Resource Centre holdings may be used only by graduate students who pay the user fee for their course (listed in our "User Fees" section below) and to ECP instructors who are currently teaching specific testing courses for the Department.
• Due to the high usage of measures and consumables for in-course training purposes, Resource Centre materials are reserved for course or clinic work only. Students and researchers (including Faculty members) will not be granted access to any Resource Centre materials for personal research projects.
• Materials and consumables (e.g. response/scoring/template forms, protocols, etc.) are NOT available to students working at internship sites as these sites should be supplying all necessary materials. If this is not the case, we advise you to speak to your course instructor or Faculty Internship Coordinator.
• PLEASE DO NOT make photocopies of task consumables or measures. This violates copyright laws.

Please note: During the summer the Assessment Materials Resource Centre is accessible only by appointment. Please ecptestlib [dot] education [at] mcgill [dot] ca (email) for a pick-up or a drop-off time.

Please be advised that these Resource Centre hours outined below apply only to the Fall and Winter academic terms. Please check the schedule regularly for amendments. Students and instructors will be informed in advance of Resource Centre closures. To facilitate the proper functioning of the Assessment Materials Resource Centre, students are kindly asked to pick up and return items during the hours specified below. It is important that to plan ahead to ensure access to the Resource Centre Materials. Please Note that you can pick up consumables/protocols in both the morning and afternoon Resource Centre hours.

*If you will be returning materials on a Friday please indicate whether it will be returned during the morning or afternoon hours in your initial reservation email. (See 'Reservations' section below)

Students who use the Resource Centre are required to pay a user fee. One hundred percent of the user fees go directly towards maintaining up-to-date holdings for student use. Any additional expenses are met by the department or by donations.
When you register for one of the courses listed in the table below, a charge will be applied to your student account. This user fee covers both a general library access fee as well as all the consumables that you will require throughout your course. For specific information about the tests covered in your courses, please refer to your course outline or contact your course instructor. Please note that the cost of consumables for the School Psychology sections of EDPC 682D1, EDPC 682D2, EDPE 625 and EDPE 626 are subsidized by the ECP Psychoeducational and Counselling Clinic due to the fact that student's in this course provide services to real clients in the Clinic who are charged for services rendered.
