This year - 5773 - Shavu'ot will start on Tuesday evening at sundown and end on Wednesday evening after dark. Outside of Israel, Shavu'ot will end on Thursday evening after dark.
It is customary to read Megilat Ruth on Shavu'ot morning, between Hallel and the Torah Reading.
In Israel, Megilat Ruth will be read on Wednesday and in the Diaspora most places will read Megilat Ruth on Thursday.
Outside of Israel one has to remember to leave a flame burning (like a Yahrzeit candle or gas range) from before Yom Tov (Tuesday afternoon) so that one can light the 2nd day's Yom Tov candles.
