Abstract
Libraries in all nations of the world have users who suffer from visual, hearing, speech, and cognitive impairments and many libraries already accommodate the needs of users who suffer from accessibility challenges. Spatial accessibility is the first basic accommodation that libraries can facilitate. A second kind of accommodation need is found in access to e-resources. The dramatically increasing volume of e-resources in the Internet era creates an enormous barrier for users with impairments. The third kind of accommodation need relates to web content and how libraries must ensure that all web content complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. This paper demonstrates how the University of Ottawa’s Brian Dickson Law Library has been addressing these accessibility challenges and providing accommodations for space, e-collections, and the Web for their users with impairments.

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
