Abstract
ABSTRACT Librarians frequently express their reluctance to get involved in international lending. This can perhaps be attributed to a feeling that their interests lie closer to home. As a result, they tend to view requests from libraries in other countries as an exceptional problem to be solved rather than part of the regular workflow. A few bad experiences with international lending can forever color the feeling of interlibrary loan offices about requests from abroad. The general feeling is a dismissive “Why bother?” CISTI has taken a more optimistic view of international resource sharing. CISTI has, in fact, taken up the challenge of supplying to libraries outside of North America, realizing that as the world shrinks, along with library budgets, we must be prepared to look beyond our own borders. This article provides a review of CISTI's experiences and some practical advice for dealing with particular issues, such as lending across long distances, language barriers, messaging and ordering systems, international mail and Customs controls and billing issues.

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
