Abstract
The authors present an analysis of Canadian libraries in the light of the current president's theme: Libraries on the Agenda. Claudia Lux chose this theme with colleagues to emphasize the role of libraries in the information society and to encourage them to contribute to all sectors of society and to national development. The article is based on the review of a number of studies and on reports and research found in and beyond library literature. Canada is a very large country and its society is quite diverse. This article explains the major trends affecting all libraries in Canada: funding, digitization of collections, consortial arrangements for electronic collections, education, etc. The authors then review the situation in the various types of libraries; national, academic, public, school and special libraries. They conclude the paper with a reflection on leadership and the observation that Canadian libraries are on the agenda and active.

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
