Law Librarian

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. General Description: includes POSTING TYPE, DEPARTMENT, HOURS, PREFERRED HIRING RANGE, SALARY RANGE, LOCATION, UNION, CLOSE DATE. Some of these are metadata; we should not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings, but we can fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. The instructions: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with some metadata like location, hours, salary range, etc. But we should not create sections for Pay unless posting actually states them. It does state salary range: SALARY RANGE: $65,638 - $102,560 (Grade 107) and PREFERRED HIRING RANGE: $65,638 - $82,048. So we have pay info. Should we create a Pay section? The rule: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Also: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". Pay section would have specific content (salary range). So we can include a Pay section. Schedule: The posting includes HOURS: Full-time. That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section with "Full-time". That's specific. Benefits: The posting includes a Benefits paragraph: "Comprehensive and affordable medical, dental, vision, and other benefits Excellent work-life balance Generous paid time off (accrual rate starts at four weeks per year) Eleven paid holidays and one floating holiday each year Pension with a generous employer contribution Ability to work from home some of the time". That's specific. So Benefits section. About the role: Could be the general description paragraph: "This law librarian will work in the Hastings Courthouse. Services provided include assisting users in finding needed legal information, offering legal research instruction, and providing outreach to promote use of essential legal resources. Market and promote law library services. Ensure the collection of legal references and resources is current. Related duties as assigned." That's substantive. So About the role. Responsibilities: The Duties & Responsibilities section includes many bullet-like sentences (though not formatted as list). We need to convert to

• . The posting includes a list of duties after "Duties & Responsibilities". It includes many sentences, each starting with a number? Actually they have numbers like "6. Pursues professional development..." and then many sentences without numbers. We need to extract all duties. The instructions: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should make a list. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: "Master's degree in library and informational science AND a minimum of two (2) years' experience in legal resources." That's a requirement. Preferred Qualifications: "Experience working in a public library." That's also qualifications but maybe we can put under Qualifications section (or Requirements). The spec says we can have Requirements and Qualifications sections. We could put minimum qualifications under Requirements, and preferred under Qualifications. Or combine. We'll follow: Requirements = minimum qualifications; Qualifications = preferred qualifications (or additional). Skills: Knowledge, Skills & Abilities section includes many items. We'll put those under Skills. We must not include boilerplate like "Selection Process", "EEO", etc. Remove those. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties, responsibilities, etc. Let's extract duties from the text: After "Duties & Responsibilities" paragraph: "These examples do not include all possible tasks in this work and do not limit the assignment of related tasks in any position of this classification. Regular attendance according to the position's management approved work schedule is required for all positions.6. Pursues professional development through networking and continuing legal education (CLE) opportunities.7. Assist Galaxie public librarians as needed. Conduct customer interviews to determine users' needs/requests for legal reference and legal research services.Analyze customer's question to determine type and amount of information needed and appropriate available sources.Identify and provide legal research titles and resources to meet needs of individual users or groups.Evaluate customer's proficiency to conduct legal research using either print or online resources.

We need to split into sensible list items. The text seems to have missing punctuation; we can treat each sentence as a duty. Let's parse: - Regular attendance according to the position's management approved work schedule is required for all positions. - Pursues professional development through networking and continuing legal education (CLE) opportunities. - Assist Galaxie public librarians as needed. - Conduct customer interviews to determine users' needs/requests for legal reference and legal research services. - Analyze customer's question to determine type and amount of information needed and appropriate available sources. - Identify and provide legal research titles and resources to meet needs of individual users or groups. - Evaluate customer's proficiency to conduct legal research using either print or online resources. - Provide professional instruction to customers on effective use legal resources (including court forms), library facilities, and equipment. - Evaluate customer's proficiency to determine level of instruction necessary. - Determine particular legal subject matter or procedural information needed. - Determine public demand for instructional materials. - Teach legal research instruction classes to the public. - Manage currency of collections and identifies trends among court users and the general public for legal information. - Reviews professional literature in law librarianship to stay abreast of new resources and services. - Provide outreach services to court users and legal researchers in the community. - Determine need to communicate with district court staff to better serve pro se clientele. - Respond to requests from the County Law Enforcement Center. - Facilitate Family Court Self-Help Center sessions with pro se users and volunteer attorneys. - Market and promote law library services to the public. - Develop and support Law Library webpages. - Develop promotional and/or instructional materials for court users, judges, court staff, and attorneys. - Establish appropriate contacts to promote library materials to the community at large. - Attends appropriate educational workshops. - Contributes expertise to library, professional, and countywide committees. We should keep them as list items. Now Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: Master's degree in library and informational science AND a minimum of two (2) years' experience in legal resources. Preferred Qualifications: Experience working in a public library. We could put Requirements as minimum qualifications, Qualifications as preferred. Skills: Knowledge, Skills & Abilities And Work Environment section includes: Knowledge of professional law librarian, legal reference and research methods and materials. Ability to prioritize and complete tasks and projects. Strong service orientation and comfortable working with a diverse user population which includes the general public, judges, law clerks, government officials, and members of the bar. Strong verbal and written communication skills. Knowledge of community and legal referral agencies Ability to coordinate programs among diverse court users and professional groups. Ability to work independently or in a team environment Work Environment: The work is sedentary and requires no special physical demands. The work involves minimal risks and observance of safety precautions typical of office settings. The work is typically performed in an adequately lighted and climate-controlled office. May require occasional travel. We could include Work Environment under Skills? Or maybe we could add a separate section? The allowed headings are limited to those listed; Work Environment not listed. Could fold into Skills or maybe into About the role? Probably better to include under Skills as part of knowledge, skills, abilities, and work environment. We'll include those bullet points as skills. Now Benefits: we have the paragraph. Pay: we have salary range and preferred hiring range. We'll include both. Schedule: Hours: Full-time. About the role: we have the paragraph. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown. We'll structure: maybe not required; just use headings

    and then content. We'll do:
