Hot Titles at the LAPL

I just noticed a new feature available from the Los Angeles Public Library (LAPL) web site, Hot Titles!

This page lists the top 50 most popular titles at the library.

I am not sure how they are selecting this information, but it is interesting all the same. Clicking a title takes you to the catalog information for the book, where you can place a hold, if you like. I hope this is the beginning of much more information from the library catalog. One feature I have always wanted is a listing of newly added titles, perhaps even as an RSS feed.

I am also seeing some additional information in the library catalog, so it looks like there was a roll-out of a new system in teh last few days.
