Abstract
Walk-in access for unaffiliated (walk-in) users in academic libraries is under threat. In North America, this is due to outdated technology as well as licensing changes publishers and vendors impose on libraries in the name of progress. We conducted a survey in autumn 2018 to get a snapshot of the current state of unaffiliated user access at post-secondary libraries across North America. We discuss the current state of access for walk-in users as well as current and future trends in user authentication which threaten this access. We look with a wider lens on open access, community access to paywalled research, and general access to information.

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
