University Libraries - UI Libraries on the web

Below are ALL the hours templates for the UI Libraries.

The best way to submit hours for updating is the following…

1. Pick a base template below by Template Name.
2. Determine date range to which that base template applies.
3. Determine the exceptions (e.g., “Closed July 3-4”) to the base template that apply during the date range.
4. Let Ken know items 1-3 by emailing lib-it-help@uiowa.edu. Lather, rinse, repeat as needed.

EXAMPLE
Apply templates
Jan 2-Jan 20 – Sciences – Reduced (Spring break, Winter, etc.)
Jan 21-Mar 15 – Sciences – Regular
Mar 16-Mar 23 – Sciences – Reduced (Spring break, Winter, etc.)
Mar 24-May 16 – Sciences – Regular

Layer on the exceptions
Jan 1 – CLOSED
Jan 20 – CLOSED
May 1-2 – We close early at 1pm

The templates below are entirely arbitrary and are the product of your suggestions and what works most flexibly. The public never sees the names of these templates.

Exceptions are layered, one day at a time, on top of a template.

I hope this makes submitting hours simpler. Thank you for your efforts to work together on this. — Ken
