<div dir="ltr"><font size="1">Kirsten, we also proctor exams at Western Oregon U. I am the proctor of record, I have one staff person who shares the bulk of the proctoring with me, and I occasionally farm appointments out to other colleagues if schedules or illness make it necessary. The room we place the student in is within our staff work area, and we see the computer screen through the window in the door. I've occasionally seen that requirement--to be in the same room as the student--but I ignore it since our setup allows us to monitor the student without them knowing when we peek in. (That said, I do remember once or twice when I bought my laptop into the room and worked while the exam went on. I don't remember why I decided that was warrented.) I think if your physical arrangement allows for unobserved monitoring, you are good; if it doesn't, the proctor should be in the room with the student.</font><div><font size="1">We do have<a href="http://research.wou.edu/content.php?pid=328718&sid=2848537#10320777"> info on the web</a> about proctoring, for what it's worth. </font></div><div><font size="1">Janeanne<br></font><div><span style="font-size:16px"><br></span></div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Do the services you provide at your library include test proctoring? If so, what guidelines have you put in place for staff proctoring tests? We occasionally receive requests, most of which are pretty easy to accommodate, but occasionally the test requires that the proctor remain in the room for the entirety of the test -- which doesn't seem like a very good use of staff time. Any thoughts?</span><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;clear:both"><br></div><div><div class="gmail_signature">----<br>Janeanne Rockwell-Kincanon<br>Associate Professor, Public Services Librarian<br>Library and Media Services<br>Western Oregon University<br>345 N.
