We do the same, and I agree with John that the process is clunky and of limited usefulness. Please resond to the list; I'd like to know what others are doing as well.
Thank you,

Subject: [ACQNET-L] New Books
Good afternoon everyone,
As the Acquisitions Librarian I am responsible for alerting our patrons
about new materials (in this case, books) which we purchase and are new
to the library. We are currently using III for our OPAC and are using a
"create list" method. This creates a list of recently cataloged items
and places a link to them on our web page. It is not the best method,
and I am looking for different ways to get the news out to the patrons.
I am curious to see what everyone else is doing to get word out on the
new items in your library.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help!
John
