Psychological Tests Resource Centre: Requesting a new or more recent edition of a test

1. Requests for purchasing of new tests or more recent test editions by the Resource Centre should come from staff members of the School of Behavioural Science.
2. Requests should pertain to essential test items that have the potential to be broadly used by staff and students. Tests that relate to funded research projects should be purchased through grant monies. In this case, Resource Centre staff are happy to order the test on behalf of the staff member provided the account to be charged is specified.
3. The purchasing of new test forms for student research is not funded by the Resource Centre. These requests should be made through the Budgets and Resource Officer and funded by the student research allowance. Resource Centre staff are happy to order new forms on behalf of the student once the funding request has been approved.
4. To request a new or more recent edition of a test or test forms, the staff member should complete a Request for Purchase of Test Material form, available from the Psychology Office. The request must be accompanied by a fully-costed letter of justification for the requested item(s). Please include details of test suppliers. When more than one test is requested, provide a rating of your test preferences.
5. The purchase request should be submitted to the Psychology Office at least 4 weeks before the material is required, to allow time for approval and processing of the order. Please note that overseas orders can sometimes take several months.
6. Requests will be considered by the Resource Centre Convenor and in cases where approval cannot be given, the Resource Centre Convenor will contact the staff member.
7. While all attempts will be made to support requests for new tests, each request will be considered on an individual basis, in terms of the broader demands for the test, its cost and availability. Each year the budget will only allow a small number of requests to be met.
