Abstract
This article documents the process and guidelines developed to respond to a library practitioner’s question as to what constitutes a reasonable search, in the context of section 32 of the Canadian Copyright Act. In answering the question, the authors decided that a Canadian guide would be helpful to all practitioners facing the same question, and they undertook a project to create “Accessible Content: A Guide to the Canadian Copyright Act on Searching for Accessible Formats and Producing and Distributing Alternate Formats” (----, 2025). The authors formed a multi-stakeholder coalition, and developed a set of guidelines aimed at aiding practitioners to understand and apply the exceptions in the Copyright Act that enable the reproduction of works for persons with perceptual disabilities.

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
