Cornell University Library has a New Books website that allows filtering 
by campus location, language,  type (book, ebook, serial, etc.), LC 
Classification, and keyword:
     http://newbooks.mannlib.cornell.edu/

Each month, data is extracted from our local Voyager catalog, and loaded 
into this homegrown website.  Users can generate RSS feeds from any 
combination of filters.  These RSS feeds are also being used to embed 
automatically-updating lists within unit library websites, LibGuides, etc.

If you have any questions or comments about the site, feel contact the 
creator, Keith Jenkins, at kgj2_at_cornell.edu

Thanks,
Keith
