sources for checking new Canadiana monographs

Hello everyone,
I would like to know what source(s) may be available to check for newly 
published Canadiana monographs.  My institution uses a vendor for 
sending us only Canadiana titles.  However, we have discovered 
some monographs that should have arrived on approval but did not.  I'm 
attempting to revise our profile so that parameters will capture books 
that will hopefully meet the criteria below.

    * monographs published within or outside of Canada that have
      Canadian content
    * aforementioned titles may or may not be from a Canadian publisher
    * writer, editor, etc. from aforementioned monographs is from Canada

My colleagues would rather have more books being shipped for their 
review rather than too few coming in and second guessing the vendor.  At 
present I've found tweaking our profile's parameters a somewhat 
challenging process.  Comments are greatly appreciated and I can share 
information on this list.
Regards, Michael Shires
