Kairos, Information Literacy and Praxis: Critical Theory and Critical Practice in LIS and Academic Librarianship
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Kairos involves both an understanding of thesociohistorically-informed present and a recognition ofpresent necessities. Examining the state ofinformation literacy scholarship, we argue we arewithin a kairotic moment where LIS scholars andlibrarians need to merge critical theories and criticalpractices to create a critical praxis of librarianship.Le Kairos implique à la fois une compréhension duprésent tel qu’il est façonné sociohistoriquement etune reconnaissance des nécessités actuelles. Suite ànotre examen de l’état de la recherche sur lacompétence informationnelle, nous avançons quenous sommes arrivés à un kairos où les chercheursen sciences de l’information et les bibliothécairesvont devoir fusionner les théories critiques et lespratiques critiques pour créer une pratique critique dela bibliothéconomie.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
