Abstract
[Para. 1 of Introduction] Among the public services offered by academic libraries, e-reserve is probably the least well-defined in scope and delivery. “Circulation” refers clearly to borrowing of materials, through the library staff or more recently, the self-check machines. “Reference” staff assist users in their research, utilizing the library collection, physical or online, and resources outside the library. Other services are shown to be responding quickly to societal and technological changes. The “library space” has gained a new dimension. The “Learning Commons” accommodates computing facilities and “centres” in the library space, such as the “Writing Centre”, the “Math Centre” and the “Student Learning Support Centre”, catering to different stages of the research process. The “library space” incorporates coffee shops, mobile furniture and wireless access everywhere, and becomes the stage for cultural events, art exhibits and other outreach functions. Librarians are no longer confined to the library’s physical space. They conduct virtual reference – email or chat, sometimes on a shared initiative, serving users from multiple institutions. They integrate subject research guides into the course management systems, or serve as collaborators with faculty in designing course content. Indeed, libraries and librarians’ roles are changing to keep up with changes that support mobility, versatility, diversity, interactivity and collaboration.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
