Hi!

At my library, we have a section on our Web site where we list some of
the newest additions to our collection. It's supposed to change monthly,
but I usually forget or don't bother to update it because it requires
manually typing in some titles. I would like to know if there is a way
to generate a report of new titles from our system (we use SIRSI) and
then have that list (or at least parts of it) dynamically populate a
table in this "New Books" page. I know this can be done if the
information is in a database, but I have no idea if it would work
through SIRSI. Has anyone done anything like this? If so, could you
please lend your suggestions/assistance?

Thanks,
Rachel
