Examination Proctoring

Spokane County 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.  This page attempts to define the service we offer, balancing 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 information 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 to fax a completed test back to the institution.
  • Ability for on-line test completion.

Student/Institution information:
  • Contact the library you 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 the needs that you have 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 appropriate sized envelope, addressed and with required postage, if the library is to return the test by mail or fax.   (We will fax, but will also return the original test to the institution to help ensure receipt by the institution.  We will not retain the original test.)
