> Thanks for the suggestion - this seems like it would be a great  
> strategy to achieve  a list of the most recent bibs imported -  
> unfortunately, our situation is complicated by the fact that Niagara  
> Evergreen is a consortia (4 Public Libraries and 1 College Library)  
> which shares bibs. Freshmeat would not reflect which titles were  
> entered at which library. This is why I thought that constructing an  
> opac url specific to our library would be the best way to display  
> our latest titles.
