Abstract
because of the hieroglyphic system in use among them prior to contact.Edwards concludes with an excellent summary chapter that places his study in both historical and contemporary context.Of special value are his suggestions for improving aboriginal community libraries in Canada and other parts of the world.This book should be required reading for any librarian serving the needs of aboriginal peoples.In summary, this provocative, wellwritten, well-edited, and thoroughly documented study deserves a place on the "must read" list of any academic librarian interested in the history of libraries, the social implications of Western notions of literacy, and/or the provision of library services to aboriginal peoples.Brendan Edwards and Scarecrow Press are to be commended for making this important study available at a relatively reasonable price.-

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
