We'd like to offer RSS feeds for newly acquired items, but we haven't
managed to figure out how to do it well. The current configuration for the
last Acquired feed doesn't work well at all. It uses this query:
select biblio.title as title, biblio.author as author, biblio.biblionumber
as bibid from biblio, biblioitems, items where biblioitems.biblionumber =
items.biblionumber and biblio.biblionumber = items.biblionumber and
items.dateaccessioned is not NULL order by items.dateaccessioned desc
This doesn't work well for a couple of reasons:
1. It returns duplicate results
2. It returns results for items which have been recently added to old biblios
I'm wondering whether a simply search by biblionumber isn't going to return
better results? At least it would get me only new biblios, rather than new
items.
