Abstract
School library education in the English-Speaking Caribbean is offered at the undergraduate level at the Department of Library and Information Studies (DLIS), University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica. This research describes the programme and the challenges faced by the Department in its delivery. A survey was conducted during the 2011 academic year and the results indicated that the DLIS needs to restructure its undergraduate B.Ed. School Librarianship programme to include recent trends in school library education. It was recommended that the DLIS develop a two tiered programme to be delivered using the blended-learning mode in order to increase its student in take. In addition to this, DLIS needs to include courses that will allow its graduates to possess the necessary knowledge and competencies to function effectively in school libraries in this Information Age.

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
