If literally what's wanted is a list, I could run one out of our Innovative
system any time, and export it whereever I want to send it. Supposing I
were interested in the relationship Tim described ('LibraryThing is
starting to look at "hooking up" to libraries, for example providing its
recommendations to libraries that want to show them')--and I am--it would
not be burdensome to send such a list on a regular basis. But I don't know
of a way for it to send itself, or to allow LibraryThing to get in the
system and request such a thing automatically..

But is this what is wanted? Tim, did you just want a list to play with? I
could send...
