The more I explore Jake's site, the more impressed I
am. I'm sorry it took me so long to go there.
But I couldn't find the New Books list. What is it
called? Does publication refer to date books are added
to the bookshare collection instead of date the book
was published?
I see it would be a lot easier for me to check Jake's
list and delete books from mty Admin Q list than to
put titles into Adbanced Search one by one.
