Mina,
We use a process that was shared with us by the by the Branch District
Library, <https://www.branchdistrictlibrary.org/>, years ago. It is
based on a report that shows items added in the last X days.
Following are details of the report:

We then export the list to a csv file and put it on the server with a

Here is what Branch District's list looks like:

We hacked it a bit to shows summaries from the MARC record when you
mouse over the cover image. Here is ours:

I'm sure I've missed some details or mistyped something, so let me know
if you need more information.
Cheers.

I recall that someone at EV16 mentioned a report that they run on a
routine basis that lists all the new items recently added to their
catalog. This report is used to generate a feed to their web page that
shows the title, author, book cover and links back to the item in the
catalog.
York County Libraries in Pennsylvania has been using a third party
vendor to complete this process and is interested in doing this
internally with our new website up grade.
Does anyone have the report available and the coding needed to do the
integration? I would like to feed this information to our website
developer or at least make the connection.
