How to display daily hours on webpage

[Junior Tidal]

We utilize Andrew Darby's technique which uses Google Calendar's API. That's the code4lib article that Paul mentions. 

It works great for displaying hours on the homepage.

We use WordPress as our CMS and installed the Google Calendar Event plugin [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-calendar-events/ ] to display our hours of operation. 

It pulls from a Google Calendar that is populated with all our hours of the semester. This method is handy because several staff members have access to the Google Calendar and are able to update it if they need to, for example when we close early due to weather. 

This article outlines a similar method using Google Calendar not tied to WordPress. http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/46
