EBSCO Publishing is pleased to now offer the Mental Measurements Yearbook™ (MMY) series as part of the company's growing collection of psychology and behavioral science-related databases available through the EBSCOhost^® interface.

The Mental Measurements Yearbook series, produced since 1938 by the Buros Institute, provides users with critical evaluations for over 2,000 commercial tests within a wide variety of areas that include education, psychology, business, aptitude, achievement, and intelligence. Written by leading experts in the field, this series supports the informed selection and use of commercial testing products. Typical MMY entries include descriptive information about the test, professional reviews, and reviewer references. To be included in this series, a test must be commercially available, be published in the English language, and be new or substantively revised since it last appeared in the series. Full text of test reviews is included in the database, and up to three independent reviews are included for each test.

According to Sam Brooks, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for EBSCO Publishing, "We are very excited to make the Mental Measurements Yearbook series available via EBSCOhost as it serves as an essential complement to the other databases that comprise EBSCO's comprehensive suite of psychology resources including PsycINFO^®, PsycARTICLES^®, PsycEXTRA^®, PsycBOOKS™, PsycCRITIQUES™ (Coming Soon), Psychology & Behavioral Sciences Collection™, and PEP Archive™ (Coming Soon)."
