LibCal Hours - ucsf-ckm/ucsf-library-ux-and-web-documentation GitHub Wiki

Overview

  • All library hours are entered into LibCal and pulled in and displayed on various pages and reservation bookings. This is made possible by a custom plugin developed by Stefan.
  • For holidays or other closures, exceptions can be set one day at a time, or a closed template can be applied, for example Closed (COVID_19).
  • To assign hours templates, go to LibCal > Admin > Hours.
  • There are also some places that require manual updates in the top level hours.

Best practices for using a closed template

  • Save a screen shot of the regular settings, so they can be easily resumed later.
  • Do not set a date range — leave the regular one as is.
  • When it's time to switch back to regular hours, you should only need to change the dropdown choice for each.
