Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Two foundational documents from the American Library Association, the Code of Ethics and the Core Values of Librarianship, are meant to guide the actions of all U.S. librarians. However, their relevance to school librarians has not been studied to date. In this research, U.S. school librarians were surveyed to evaluate the significance of these documents. Generally, strong support was indicated for both. Respondents expressed less support for the ethical principles of intellectual freedom/censorship and privacy/confidentiality and for the core values of preservation, the public good, and democracy. Additional respondent comments suggest that some school librarians have difficulty applying these statements in their school settings.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
