Abstract
Information literacy (IL) emerges within the context of a neoliberal agenda in higher education. This paper uses the Academic Literacies Framework (Lea and Street, 1998, 2006) to critique current LIS approaches to IL, and to reframe IL as a situated practice within the neoliberal university.La compétence informationnelle s’impose comme une priorité de tout programme néo-libéral dans l'enseignement supérieur. Cet article s’appuie sur l’Academic Literacies Framework (Lea and Street, 1998, 2006) pour soumettre à la critique les approches actuelles de la compétence informationnelle dans les sciences de l’information et la bibliothéconomie, et la recadrer comme pratique d’immersion dans l'université néo-libérale. *** Awarded Best Paper by a Practitioner ***

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
