By means of the potential theory Steklov eigenvalue problems are transformed into general eigenvalue problems of boundary integral equations (BIE) with the logarithmic singularity. Using the quadrature rules$^{[1]}$, the paper presents quadrature methods for BIE of Steklov eigenvalue problem, which possess high accuracies $O(h^3)$ and low computing complexities. Moreover, an asymptotic expansion of the errors with odd powers is shown. Using $h^3-$Richardson extrapolation, we can not only improve the accuracy order of approximations, but also derive a posterior estimate as adaptive algorithms. The efficiency of the algorithm is illustrated by some examples.
