'''Best practices discussion''': does it make sense to list an organization's hours of operation when there is no automated mechanism to keep those updated? | '''Best practices discussion''': does it make sense to list an organization's hours of operation when there is no automated mechanism to keep those updated? It seems to me that it has the power to do more harm than good. This is particularly an issue with FamilySearch Centers. Directors already have multiple places to update if their hours change, and no one wants patrons to have the experience of driving somewhere only to find that place is closed. My recommendation would be to provide a link to an organization's web site where hours are posted. Other thoughts? [[User:Lembley|Lise]] 17:13, 8 August 2012 (UTC) | ||
