Abstract
Libraries organize themselves into various departments reflecting their operations and the functional role of individual staff members. Traditionally, most libraries have defined forward facing services as public service. This understanding has often excluded those staff working within a technical services department (acquisitions, cataloging, eresource management), web design, digital services from viewing themselves as providing a public service. The authors analyze library functions in eresource management, licensing, metadata, and accessibility services to underscore the importance of understanding the shared nature of library work such that all staff in the library are seen to be working to promote the connection between patrons and resources, and thus have a connection to each patron who uses the library. By analyzing functional roles and sharing knowledge, libraries can enhance their organizational alignment to support patrons more holistically by broadening the definition of public services. The article emphasizes the necessity of ongoing communication, understanding, and the adoption of a values-based approach toward organizational culture and functioning.

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.
