The Dal Libraries has acquired two major new resources for the health sciences.
Health and Psychosocial Instruments: HaPI
Health and Psychosocial Instruments (HaPI) is a database that provides access to information on approximately 15,000 measurement instruments (i.e. questionnaires, interview schedules, checklists, coding schemes, rating scales, etc.) in the fields of health and psychosocial sciences. The database covers 1985 to date and is updated quarterly. NOTE: The full-text of the instruments are not included in the database.
PsychiatryOnline
PsychiatryOnline is a web-based portal that features DSM-IV-TR®—the most widely used psychiatric reference in the world. It also provides electronic access to a dozen American Psychiatric Association textbooks, practice guidelines, journals and self-assessment tools, as well as information for patients and families.
the first one in particular is an excellent resources since it makes searching for instruments easy. The DSM-IV-TR is nice but this is also widely available on the web.
Thanks for your comment John. Of course, DSM-IV is just one part of the PsychiatryOnline package which includes full text journals, textbooks, guidelines, patient information and self-assessment tools.
