If you can create a file of bib ids, then you just need a script which
will generate this from it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url><loc>http://library.gts.edu/vwebv/holdingsInfo?bibId=126515</loc></url>
--- and all your other records ---
</urlset>
There are some additional options but that's what you need. It
probably requires a Google webmaster tools account so you can let them
know, but you'd want that anyway.
