Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Society has steadily grown more technology-reliant and continues to shift toward digital landscapes for education, business, government, and personal tasks. Alongside these trends there increases a chasm between various privileged and disadvantaged social groups who do or do not have access and knowledge to participate in a digital society. School, public, and academic libraries have an integral role to play in providing both education and access tools to communities to enhance people’s ability to participate in digital activities. By collaborating with each other to decrease the digital divide(s), libraries and social institutions can help to create digitally ethical and responsible participants. This paper explores and compiles existing literature and initiatives regarding the challenges and solutions for libraries aiming to bridge the digital divide(s), what digital literacy and digital citizenship are, and emphasizes the role of educating communities as equally important as providing access to technology.

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.
