Is There Such a Creature as the Post-Fordist Public Library? The Value of French Regulation Theory for Questions in Public Policy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
“Dismantling our fortress that was the reference desk and our citadel known as the circulation desk” these are some of the steps public libraries are taking in the name of customer service. The purpose of this research is to answer the question: “if the public library blossomed in the era of Fordism, what are the identifying features of the post-Fordest library?Au nom du service à la clientèle, certaines bibliothèques publiques ont entreprise de « démanteler la forteresse que constitue le poste de référence et la citadelle que constitue le bureau de prêt ». L'objectif de cette recherche est de répondre à la question: « Si la bibliothèque publique s'est développée à l'ère du fordisme, quelle sont les caractéristiques distinctives de la bibliothèque post-fordiste? »

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
