This doesn't involve AutoHotkey, but maybe it would be easier to use SQL to pull that data from the Sierra database rather than screen scraping from the Sierra application. You wouldn't need to worry about where stuff displays in the interface, just where its stored on the backend. This

I'm not at all surprised that this doesn't already exist, and even if OCLC's was available, I'd be willing to bet it was out of date. Public library hours, especially in underfunded areas, may fluctuate depending on funding cycles, seasons (whether school is in or out), etc., not to mention

Data in the OCLC Registry is maintained by the library. I have that on my long list of things to attend to, and only check it rarely. The Registry is a great idea -- and would be better if library vendors pointed at it for such basic things as link resolver address (as an example). But as far as
