# Boston Public Library shelf-list cards → structured records

A demo of zero-shot structured extraction on scanned BPL shelf-list catalogue cards
using [NuExtract3](https://huggingface.co/numind/NuExtract3) (4B, Apache-2.0), run as a
single command on Hugging Face Jobs via the
[`uv-scripts/ocr`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/uv-scripts/ocr) `nuextract3.py` script.

Each card image is paired with the JSON the model returned for a target catalogue schema
(`shelf_no`, `author`, `title`, `place`, `date`, `accession_no`, …). The model also
self-classifies shelf-divider cards vs bibliographic cards.

**This is an unreviewed zero-shot demo** — the next step is expert curator review and an
iteration loop (and, potentially, a fine-tuned community model). Source cards are public
domain via the Boston Public Library.
