Abstract
This article reports the findings of a study which investigated the sources of Canadian archivists’ knowledge of copyright and the quality of their knowledge in terms of the extent to which it is accurate and up-to-date. The study found that Canadian archivists obtain their copyright knowledge from a variety of sources, not all of which are authoritative or current; as a result, the quality of their knowledge varies greatly. Some appear to have a good understanding of copyright, others misunderstand certain aspects in ways that have consequences for access and use, or that may put the repository in a position of infringing copyright, albeit unintentionally. The article concludes with recommendations to address weaknesses in how practitioners learn about copyright and keep their knowledge current. RESUME Cet article presente les resultats d’une etude qui a ete menee afin de determiner les sources du savoir des archivistes canadiens en matiere du droit d’auteur et de mesurer la qualite de ces renseignements. L’etude montre que les archivistes canadiens obtiennent leurs renseignements par rapport au droit d’auteur a partir d’une variete de sources qui ne sont pas necessairement sures ni a jour; par consequent, la qualite de leurs connaissances varie enormement. Certains semblent avoir une bonne connaissance du droit d’auteur tandis que d’autres comprennent mal certains aspects, ce qui peut avoir des consequences nefastes sur l’acces et l’utilisation, ou mener un centre d’archives a ne pas respecter le droit d’auteur, quoique de facon involontaire. Cet article conclut en fournissant des recommandations pour assurer que les praticiens aient et conservent une bonne connaissance du droit d’auteur.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
