[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] New Material OPAC Search URL

[Geoff Brown]

Hi Mike, 

Great - thanks Mike!
This seems to be working and pulling recent titles just for the College. If I can ask one more thing....Is there a way to limit these results to just books?

Thanks,
Geoff

There's also http://www.open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=scratchpad:random_magic_spells#url_format_for_browse_indexes 

For example, the following lists the 10 bibs that have most recently
had items added at Rittenhouse (shortname MFR):
http://niagaracollege.niagaraevergreen.ca/opac/extras/browse/html-full/item-age/MFR 

Just change 'html-full' to the format you want (atom, atom-full,
html_holdings, html_holdings-full, marcxml, etc).
