APA PsycBooks and PsycTests - Spring/Summer 21 access - jcarrell - 01-08-2021

Hi Tara - Can we also get linkers for the complimentary PsycBooks and PsycTests databases in EBSCO?  They're live in EBSCO.  Thanks!

Sure, thanks for the reminder.

If you recall, VIVA member complimentary access to APA PsycBooks and PsycTests from Ebsco was supposed to expire on August 31. The cutoff date has passed, however Ebsco still has them active.

VIVA Central will remind the vendor today that these two resources should no longer be available. Please remove these links from college AZ-resource lists.
