Test Proctoring
The Library District provides proctoring service to students in our community as part of our role as a community place and in support of life-long learning.
The service we offer attempts to balance the needs of the student, the institution with which they are working, and service to other library customers. While we expect to be able to meet the requirements of most requests for proctoring service, we do have some limitations.
We will provide the:
- Staff members who are authorized to provide proctoring service: librarians, library supervisors, and public services specialists.
- Space for test taking; however, depending on the library, there may not be a separate quiet area available.
- Ability to directly mail a completed test back to the institution.
- Ability for on-line test completion.
Student/Institution information:
- Contact the library they wish to use for proctoring and make arrangements with the staff based on the facilities that are available and on staff availability.
- Verify with the library staff that the requirements of the institution for proctoring can be met by the library staff.
- Verify the physical environment available at the library meets their needs for test taking.
- Schedule specific days/times for proctoring based on the open days/hours of the library and the availability of the proctor.
- Arrange for a public computer booking if needed.
- Provide an appropriately sized, stamped and addressed envelope, if the library is to return the test by mail or by fax/scan/email (for return of the original).
