Abstract
This study presents findings of research conducted in the Open Source Software (OSS) domain in a Canadian public libraries context. The findings from the survey will provide insight into various facets such as use, benefits and challenges of OSS from Canadian libraries’ perspective, OSS evaluation criteria, use of resources to learn about OSS, and decision-making associated with OSS in Canadian libraries context.Cette étude présente les résultats de recherches menées dans le domaine des logiciels libres (Open Source Software - OSS) dans le contexte des bibliothèques publiques canadiennes. Les résultats du sondage fourniront un aperçu de diverses facettes telles que l'utilisation, les avantages et les défis des logiciels libres, du point de vue des bibliothèques canadiennes, des critères d'évaluation des logiciels libres, de l'utilisation des ressources pour en apprendre davantage sur les logiciels libres, et la prise de décision associée aux logiciels libres dans le contexte des bibliothèques canadiennes.

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
