We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job posting. Key parts: Job Summary: Under general supervision... This position contributes to the fulfillment of the Acquisitions and Electronic Resources unit functions, in addition to contributing to the overall services and programs of CSDS and the Library. Primary responsibilities include leading library acquisitions processing including ordering library materials; receiving and processing materials in the library management system and preparing them for use; verifying accuracy of materials received against orders placed; monitoring acquisition expenditures, troubleshooting acquisitions and e-resource related problems with vendors; and tracking and compiling expenditures for annual statistics and audit reports. This position has the potential to be fully remote within the state of California. Department Summary: description of CSDS, library, etc. Key Qualifications: list of qualifications (expertise, knowledge, abilities). This is a block of text. Education And Experience: High School or Equivalent certification plus four years of related library and/or clerical experience or an equivalent combination of experience and education. Salary And Benefits: Anticipated Hiring Range: $5,403 - $6,084 per month; Classification Range: $4,611 - 6,718 per month; description of factors; Cal Poly offers a best-in-class benefits program, including health, dental and vision insurance, retirement participation in the Public Employees' Retirement System, and educational benefits for eligible employees. See our benefits website for additional information. Cal Poly description: about the university. Equal Opportunity etc: boilerplate to remove. Supplemental Information: background check, mandated reporter, etc. Some of that may be considered not boilerplate? It's about employment requirements. Might be considered relevant but not a standard section. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Supplemental Information includes background check etc. Might be considered legal boilerplate? It's about employment requirements, but could be considered part of "Requirements" maybe. However we have to decide. We need to output sections: About the role (maybe from Job Summary + Department Summary?), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (Education And Experience?), Qualifications (Key Qualifications), Skills (maybe derived from qualifications?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not create sections with placeholder text. So we need actual content. Let's extract: About the role: Could combine Job Summary and Department Summary? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role summarizing the role's purpose. Use the Job Summary paragraph. Responsibilities: list of duties from Primary responsibilities: leading library acquisitions processing including ordering library materials; receiving and processing materials in the library management system and preparing them for use; verifying accuracy of materials received against orders placed; monitoring acquisition expenditures, troubleshooting acquisitions and e-resource related problems with vendors; and tracking and compiling expenditures for annual statistics and audit reports. Also mention potential to be fully remote within California. Requirements: Education And Experience: High School or Equivalent certification plus four years of related library and/or clerical experience or an equivalent combination of experience and education. Qualifications: Key Qualifications block: Demonstrated expertise and comprehensive in-depth knowledge of automated academic library, acquisitions, and electronic resources management programs, online resources, databases, and systems, especially the Acquisitions and Resource Management workflows in the library resource management system, as well as link resolver, authentication, and electronic data exchange (EDI) software, to perform assigned duties, technical work and/or assist patrons. Comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of the concepts and issues related to the lifecycles of print and electronic resources; general knowledge of concepts and issues related to preservation. Demonstrated ability to perform technical aspects of work assignments including a strong ability to interpret overall library policies and procedures, and operations, standards, ethics, and best practices as they pertain to acquisitions and individual work, as well as demonstrated experience evaluating procedures and recommending changes. Thorough knowledge of all aspects of lead work direction including assisting in employee selection, training employees in new work procedures, assigning work, organizing workflow, and establishing priorities, reviewing work, providing input to performance evaluations and promoting teamwork to optimize effectiveness. Working knowledge of campus human resources practices and payroll procedures. In-depth and comprehensive knowledge of library accounting and budget policies and procedures, including the ability to collect, organize and analyze data to support planning and budgeting. Skills: Could be derived from qualifications but maybe we can list specific skills: acquisitions processing, ordering, receiving, verifying, monitoring expenditures, troubleshooting e-resource problems, tracking expenditures, budgeting, data analysis, lead work direction, training, workflow organization, HR/payroll knowledge, library accounting, etc. But we must not invent details; we can extract from the text. The qualifications already contain many skill-like statements. Could we create a Skills section summarizing those? Might be okay if we derive directly from the text without adding new info. However risk of summarizing? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should not create a Skills section that summarizes unless the original posting had a Skills subsection. It didn't. So better to omit Skills section if no explicit skills list. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can omit Skills. Benefits: Cal Poly offers a best-in-class benefits program, including health, dental and vision insurance, retirement participation in the Public Employees' Retirement System, and educational benefits for eligible employees. See our benefits website for additional information. Pay: Salary And Benefits section includes Anticipated Hiring Range: $5,403 - $6,084 per month; Classification Range: $4,611 - 6,718 per month; plus description of factors. So we can put Pay section with that info. Schedule: The posting mentions potential to be fully remote within the state of California. No explicit schedule (full-time, part-time, hours). Not given. So we should not create Schedule section because no specific content. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to decide what to put in lists. Responsibilities: list of duties. We can make

  • each duty. Requirements: Education And Experience is a single sentence; could be

    . Could also be a list but it's one item. Qualifications: The block is multiple sentences; could be

    or we could break into

    • each qualification statement. The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Qualifications is not explicitly listed as a list but could be considered a list. Safer to use

        for prose. Benefits: list of benefits: health, dental and vision insurance, retirement participation in the Public Employees' Retirement System, educational benefits for eligible employees. Could be

        • . Pay: include the ranges and factors. Could be

          . We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Let's craft. About the role: combine Job Summary and Department Summary? The Job Summary already describes role contributions. Department Summary describes CSDS and library. Might be okay to include both as prose under About the role. We'll put:

          About the role

          Under general supervision of the Associate Dean for Collections, Systems, & Digital Strategies, this position contributes to the fulfillment of the Acquisitions and Electronic Resources unit functions, in addition to contributing to the overall services and programs of CSDS and the Library. Primary responsibilities include leading library acquisitions processing including ordering library materials; receiving and processing materials in the library management system and preparing them for use; verifying accuracy of materials received against orders placed; monitoring acquisition expenditures, troubleshooting acquisitions and e-resource related problems with vendors; and tracking and compiling expenditures for annual statistics and audit reports. This position has the potential to be fully remote within the state of California.

          Collections, Systems, & Digital Strategies (CSDS) comprises the collection development, acquisitions, electronic resource management, systems, stacks maintenance, and resource sharing functions of the library. CSDS is responsible for acquiring and managing new books and serials in all formats, overseeing the library collections, and maintaining the data in library systems including the online catalog. This team collaborates with the College Librarians and other teams in the library to find, acquire, organize and maintain the materials our community needs. The Robert E. Kennedy Library is nationally recognized for its distinction in engaging the students and faculty of the Cal Poly university community. While integrating traditional library resources and services with digital tools and platforms, the library continuously experiments to adapt its services, programs, and spaces to meet the evolving academic programs, research interests, and needs of the university community. Annual visits exceed 1.5 million.

          That seems fine. Responsibilities: we could list the duties as
          • . But we already included them in About the role. To avoid duplication, maybe we should separate: About the role could be brief summary, Responsibilities list the duties. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can split but must not lose info. Let's keep About the role as a brief overview (maybe just the first sentence about supervision and contribution). Then Responsibilities list the duties. But we already used the duties in About the role; we could move them to Responsibilities and keep About the role short. Let's decide: About the role: short description of role purpose: "Under general supervision of the Associate Dean for Collections, Systems, & Digital Strategies, this position contributes to the fulfillment of the Acquisitions and Electronic Resources unit functions, in addition to contributing to the overall services and programs of CSDS and the Library. This position has the potential to be fully remote within the state of California." Responsibilities: list the duties. Department Summary could be part of About the role or maybe we could include as part of About the role as well. But to avoid duplication, we could incorporate department summary into About the role as well. However we risk making About the role long but that's okay. Better: About the role includes both the supervision sentence and department summary. Responsibilities list the duties. That way we don't duplicate duties. Let's craft: About the role:
