Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Thunder Bay Public Library (TBPL), located in the city of Thunder Bay, on Lake Superior in northwestern Ontario, Canada, experienced a radical transformation between 2012 and 2022. This transformation was prompted by changes in the material conditions of the white and Indigenous communities in Thunder Bay, which was named as ‘the race hate capital of Canada.' TBPL responded to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action, the Inquiry into the Deaths of Seven Indigenous Youths in Thunder Bay and Broken Trust, a report on institutional racism at Thunder Bay Police Service, by initiating a programme of anti-racism training and cultural competence development, which formed the basis of its decolonization strategy. This strategy led, in turn, to changes in the service and staffing structures, including the recruitment of Indigenous librarians; policies and systems; and the organizational culture at TBPL.

Not 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.
