Point your Internet browser to the Criss Library website at http://library.unomaha.edu, look for the Research Tools column on the left side of the homepage, and click into the All Databases A-Z directory:
Once in All Databases A-Z, scroll down or click the alphabetical navigation to find an entry for the PsycTests database, which is described as a "repository for the full text (when available) of psychological tests and measures as well as a source of structured information about tests of relevance to psychologists and professionals in related fields such as psychiatry, management, business, education, social science, neuroscience, law, medicine, and social work."
This is your best choice for finding actual surveys, questionnaires, etc. The Mental Measurements Year Book and Tests in Print databases are also helpful, but they focus on commercially published instruments and only rarely are those freely available.
