MOOC, or Massive Open Online Courses, is the acronym that academics, teachers and librarians use for online degree programs.
Many of our visitors need a proctoring service that allows them to take exams in a controlled environment. We offer proctoring free of charge and serve a large number of students in the community.
Our library's Internet access allows students to search numerous databases to help them complete course work for higher education. We also have print resources that might be needed.
Database access is available to anyone with an Okaloosa County Public Library Cooperative library card, and some of our databases specifically require a Crestview library card. These databases can be accessed remotely for those who have computers at home.
Just call us to get free proctoring, which is available during regular library hours.
You can reach me, Jean, or Marie, Sandra, Heather, Anna, Sabrina, Audrey, Mike, Sasha, Sandy or Esther at 682-4432.
Jean Lewis is the Crestview Public Library's director.
