Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study investigates a community partnership approach between public libraries and seniors’ organizations for older adult digital literacy training. The paper showcases a partnership between a volunteer seniors' organization, two public libraries, and a seniors' centre. Semi-structured interviews with administrators, instructors, and students were analyzed via qualitative thematic analysis techniques. Findings reveal many benefits (e.g., the leveraging of shared resources and tasks; better understanding of seniors’ training needs; better tailoring of the training to meet those needs) and challenges (e.g., the inherent tensions between different organizational structures and ways of working; difficulties establishing a sustainable mode of partnership going forward).

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.
