An inventory of people, publications and projects which might serve as resources for locating psychological tests or information about them is presented. This compendium is designed to serve as a ready reference guide for instrument information seekers in the behavioral sciences and includes (where available) addresses, quoted prices, and other information pertinent to fuller use of these resources, as well as summaries of their features. Most of the identified resources can be tapped through correspondence or through use of an institutional library. By using these resources, duplication of effort and time spent locating instruments could be significantly reduced.
