Abstract
Picture this scenario: your library has been offered the chance to buy a valuable first edition from the collection of another library.The sale price is $100,000.You decline-graciously, of course.A week later, however, you learn from a confidential source that the book's actual worth is $1.5 million-much more than the seller was asking of you.On the basis of this new information, you call up the other library and say that you've changed your mind and have now decided to buy the aforesaid book.Is that library obliged to sell it to you?Or, what if, hypothetically, you had accepted the original off er and then the other library, discovering the true value of the edition, had refused to go through with the agreed-upon sale?Does your library have a legal claim?What are the other library's legal obligations?Chances are, not many librarians will encounter this kind of problem.The scenarios that are likely to occur in libraries where the majority of us work are of a much more mundane sort.Take, for example, the roofing company that tells you, on the day they are to begin replacing the leaky roof of your library, that they will be too busy to do the work, as promised.Your library is forced to find another contractor who can't begin work until February.Sadly, in January, the roof leaks worse than ever and water runs into the shelves, ruining a particular collection of books.Are you entitled to sue the first roofing company that refused to do the work?If so, what kind of money could you expect to collect if you won?The above examples, from Bryan M. Carson's The Law of Library and Archives, illustrate the types of issues that have legal consequences for a library.This book, in addition to making splendid reading, is

Direct model labels (unvalidated)
Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedLabeled directly by 2 models reading the full record.
