Abstract
Abstract: This paper explores how an outreach initiative to the campus farm at McGill University enhanced the library’s understanding of farm activities, opening avenues for support and collaboration. At McGill’s Macdonald Campus Library, liaison librarians reach out to teaching staff, faculty and students of the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, but not at other units, such as the farm. The library and farm missions are similar in that both aim to support the teaching and research needs of the faculty. This, combined with the fact that the farm strives to incorporate innovative agricultural technology and practices into its operations, make them an interesting target for library outreach. From the library’s perspective, this outreach has the added benefit that the farm provides a practical model of the future information needs of our students that could inform information literacy skills training contributing to their success after academia. Resume: Cet article examine comment une initiative de sensibilisation aupres de la ferme du campus de l'Universite McGill a aide la bibliotheque a mieux comprendre les activites agricoles, et les avenues possibles de collaboration et de soutien. A la bibliotheque du campus Macdonald de McGill, les bibliothecaires de liaison sensibilisent le personnel enseignant, les professeurs et les etudiants de la Faculte des sciences de l‘agriculture et de l’environnement, mais pas a d'autres unites, telles que la ferme. Les missions de la bibliotheque et de la ferme sont similaires en ce que les deux visent a soutenir l'enseignement et les besoins de la faculte en matiere de recherche. Ceci, combine avec le fait que la ferme s'efforce d'integrer des technologies et des pratiques agricoles innovantes dans ses operations, fait d'eux une cible interessante pour la sensibilisation de la bibliotheque. Du point de vue de la bibliotheque, ce travail de sensibilisation a l'avantage que la ferme fournit un modele pratique des besoins en information futurs de nos etudiants, qui pourrait influer sur la formation des capacites d’utilisation de l’information contribuant a leur succes apres l’universite. Resumen: Este trabajo explora como una iniciativa de extension en la granja de la Universidad de McGill ha mejorado el conocimiento de la biblioteca acerca de las actividades agricolas, abriendo caminos para el apoyo y la colaboracion. En la biblioteca de la Universidad de McGill en su sede de Macdonald, los bibliotecarios de enlace trabajan con el personal docente, los profesores y los estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias Agricolas y Ambientales, pero no con otras unidades como la granja. Las misiones de la biblioteca y la granja son similares en que ambas buscan apoyar las necesidades de ensenanza e investigacion de la Facultad. Esto, junto con el hecho de que la granja se esfuerza por incorporar tecnologias y practicas agricolas innovadoras en sus operaciones, hace que sea un objetivo interesante para las actividades de extension de la biblioteca. Desde la perspectiva de la biblioteca, esta actividad de extension tiene la ventaja agregada de que la granja ofrece un modelo practico de las futuras necesidades de informacion de los estudiantes que puede indicar la capacitacion que se requiere en habilidades de alfabetizacion informacional, lo cual contribuiria a su exito despues de la academia.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
