Hi all, After wrestling with the problem for a while, we wrote a Wordpress plugin to handle hours. The main display includes a map of locations: http://library.unc.edu/hours/
And shortcodes are available to display abbreviated versions of today's or this week's hours elsewhere on the site. (There is also a consumable JSON view so that you can create your own display). Categories can be assigned to events, which can be repeating or 24-hr (using standard ical and recurrence rules). https://github.com/UNC-Libraries/Hours-of-Operation We'd be glad to talk more with anyone who's interested!

Hi all, We are working on a website migration/redesign into WordPress and I am trying to figure out an automated solution for posting and keeping up to date the hours on the home page. I am wondering, how do other institutions manage this? Are there any good tools I should be looking into? Any insights or suggestions are appreciated. Matt Sherman
