By Librarians, For Librarians: The Development of the Librarians’ Research Institute
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This poster will describe our investigations of research culture in Canadian libraries and the development of a Librarians’ Research Institute (LRI), which emerged from these investigations. This poster will convey some of the theoretical and practical underpinnings of the LRI and articulate the foundational principles that informed the LRI.Cette affiche décrit nos enquêtes dans la culture de la recherche au sein des bibliothèques canadiennes et le développement subséquent de l'Institut de recherche des Bibliothécaires (IRB), qui en est résulté. Cette affiche a pour but de transmettre certains des fondements théoriques et pratiques de l’IRB et d’articuler les principes fondateurs qui en forment l’armature.
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 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.
