Abstract
From the 1994 CAIS Conference: The Information Industry in Transition McGill University, Montreal, Quebec. May 25 - 27, 1994.The increased use of CD-ROM databases in academic libraries comes at a time when dwindling budgets have put pressure on university libraries to justify all expenditures, and particularly the large expenditures associated with these databases. This has hastened the need for better management information about network use of these databases to substantiate hardware and software requirements, remote access desirability, technical support needs, and to reduce their associated costs. This paper examines research being conducted at McGill University to develop a software tool to measure CD-ROM use across a multiple segment local area network with a target user population in excess of 2,000 students and faculty members. The rationale for the project is discussed, details are provided about programming considerations, and examples are given of how the information can be used.

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
