The Salt Lake City Public Library provides exam proctoring services in support of lifelong learning goals. This service is provided as a courtesy to patrons and is subject to the availability of staff to administer the examination. The City Library may refer students to other institutions that provide proctoring service when conditions cannot be met or a library staff person is not available to provide this service.

Limitations

• This service is only available for high school and university or college students.
• The Library does not proctor for business licenses.
• The Library does not proctor tests taking more than three hours.
• The Library does not proctor tests requiring extra software, unless the test is taken on the student's laptop and the use of student equipment is allowed by the institution offering the test. Students should verify that online tests will be available at the requested test time.
• Anyone who misses three scheduled appointments without notification prior to test time will be denied future test proctoring at the Library.

Scheduling
Students must contact the desired Library location at least three full days prior to the desired test date.

It is the student's responsibility to verify that the requirements of the educational institution can be followed before arranging to have the test mailed. Staff will only sign proctoring verifications when the conditions were met.

Tests that are mailed to The City Library should be addressed to the individual staff member who has agreed to proctor the test. It is the student's responsibility to contact the institution mailing the test and provide the name of the proctor. The student is responsible for calling The City Library to verify that the test has arrived. The student must speak to the staff person who has agreed to be the proctor and schedule a time to take the test. Students must schedule adequate time to finish the test at least 30 minutes prior to Library closing. The Library is not responsible for tests that are incomplete for any reason, including emergency evacuation or early closure of the Library building. The City Library does not guarantee quiet rooms for examinations. It is the student's responsibility to schedule one of the Library’s meeting rooms for the amount of time needed to take the test. The City Library cannot provide continuous monitoring of students during an exam.

Day of the Exam
Students must follow the requirements given by the institution supplying the test, including providing photo identification. Proctors will enforce any time limits placed on the exam.

Students are expected to provide all their own testing supplies, including postage and an envelope to mail the completed test back to the school, if required.

After the Exam
Students should allow sufficient time for the test to be mailed back to the educational institution. Tests are mailed using the U.S. Postal Service within the next two business days. The City Library is not responsible for tests lost in the mail or for keeping a photocopy of the student's answer sheet.

The City Library invites everyone in Salt Lake City to join the Tech League! The Tech League is the Library's digital literacy initiative to build a more digitally inclusive community through information, workshops, events, and classes.

Although many in Salt Lake City use the Internet on a daily basis, others lack access to the Internet, the devices to get connected, or the skills to use them. Without access and skills, people in our community may be left disconnected from friends and family, work opportunities, information and entertainment to improve their lives, and more. The Tech League's goal is to understand who in our community lacks Internet access and to bring the Library's resources and tools to those individuals to foster independence, connection, and success in our digital world.

The City Library's Creative Lab provides a space with dedicated equipment and software to create, edit, and convert digital media projects including, but not limited to, video, audio, photography, and 3D modeling.

The Creative Lab is located adjacent to the Main Library Technology Center. For general computing activities such as word processing, web browsing, email, social networking, or printing, please use the computers available in the Technology Center or computers located on other floors of the Main Library.

Salt Lake City Public Library users can now submit 3D print requests to be printed on one of the Creative Lab's 3D printers. Please visit slcpl.org/3dprinting for details on submitting a 3D print request.

All City Library locations have computers for public use. All public computers have Internet access and the Microsoft Office 2013 suite of programs installed.

Anyone with a City Library Card may use our public computers. If you do not have a City Library Card and do not live in Salt Lake County, you may acquire a Guest Pass at any City Library Reference Desk.

Library Cards and Internet Cards entitle the cardholder to two 60-minute sessions of computer use per day, broken up into as few or as many separate computer sessions as you wish. Guest Passes entitle users to 20 minutes of computer use per session, and patrons will be allowed only one Guest Pass per day.

The City Library uses a reservation system to ensure equitable use of our public computers. If you approach a computer that says "Available" in green, you may use the computer right away. If the computer says "Reserved," it is not available for you to use. You may place a reservation for a computer using the Reservation and Print Release Station at any City Library location. (The Main Library has Reservation and Print Release Stations on all floors.) Once you place a reservation, you will receive a receipt identifying the computer that is reserved for you and the time it will be available. If you do not log in to the computer within five minutes of the assigned time, your reservation will be cancelled. This will count as one of your computer sessions for the day.

For additional clarification on using computers at The City Library, please call us at 801-524-8200 or visit any City Library location.

All public computers at The City Library are connected to a printer. Printing is 10¢ per page, regardless of whether the print is in black-and-white or color.

Every cardholder receives $1.00 in free printing each month (10 free pages of printing per month). If you do not use your $1.00 credit in a given month, the remaining amount does not transfer to the next month.

When you set a document to print, the print job is sent to the Reservation and Print Release Station in that location. To finish printing your document, you must log-in to the Print Release Station and select your item to print. Any items you do not select to print will be removed from your print queue.

Yes, you can print wirelessly from your own mobile device to any City Library Print Release Station.

If you are already at the Library, use the PrinterOn MobilePrint Web Portal to submit print jobs from your mobile device:
1) Select whether you'd like to print in black and white or color. The charge for printing is 10¢ per page
2) Enter either of the following in order to identify your print job at the Print Release Station:

	a) Your Library card number (if you'd like your print costs to come out of your $1.00 monthly printing allocation balance)
	b) Your email address username (the part before the @ symbol). For example, a user with the email address "jsmith@example.com" would enter "jsmith"

3) Select the file, document, or URL you'd like to print.
4) Go to a Print Release Station and enter your Library card number or email address username, as outlined above, in order to find your print job. You will then select your payment method, just like you do when printing from the Library's public computers.

If you are not physically at the Library, but wish to print at the Library:
1) Send your print jobs as email attachments directly to these addresses:

	a) bw-print@slcpl.org (to print in black-and-white)
	b) color-print@slcpl.org (to print in color)

Patrons then have 24 hours to come to the Library branch of their choice to complete the print job.
2) When you arrive, go to a Print Release Station and enter your email address username (the part before the @ symbol) in order to locate your print job. For example, a user with the email address "jsmith@example.com" would enter "jsmith". You will then select your payment method, just like you do when printing from the Library's public computers.
