Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Canadian libraries have a responsibility to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action (2015), Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls Calls to Justice (2019), and the United Nations Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007) by decolonizing their policies and practices. This has resulted in many libraries have incorporated initiatives aimed at truth, reconciliation and decolonization into their strategic plans. Yet in order to appropriately engage in this transformative work, library employees often need professional development on the topics of Indigenous history Indigenous knowledges. However, by decolonizing LIS educational programs and creating Indigenous informed curriculum library technicians and librarians would graduate prepared to engage in decolonial and reconciliation initiatives. Drawing on the author's experience as a Métis-European librarian and LIS sessional instructor, this chapter will examine the ways library education can decolonize and incorporate Indigenous knowledges.

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.
