Our patrons often want to see the newest materials that we've added to the collection. We provide a lot of canned searches to point them to our newest items. But when they do an author or subject search it would be helpful to them to have a 'date added' feature in the facets in the OPAC to allow them to zero in on materials added within the past xxx number of days. For example: Past 30 Days (3) Past 60 Days (3) Past 90 Days (4) Past 180 Days (5) Over 180 Days (221)
I noticed that the Most Popular feature in the OPAC includes a dropdown that lets you filter your search results by 'Acquired in the last'. Since this already exists here I wonder if it can be used for the facets on the results page.
