By 'on the screen' do you mean via the calibre GUI? If so, then the search mechanism should do what you want. Search for something by typing in the search box, and you see only the books that match that 'something'. You can go further and create a named search for the query, then use that named search in the 'restrict to' box, creating virtual sub-libraries.

Things work best if you use tags to identify books you are working on. For example, if new books are given the tag ToDo, then searching for ToDo will show you those books. Once you have finished hacking the book, remove the tag. Starting with release 0.7.17, you can have calibre automatically put tags on books when they are added, simplifying the process (preferences -> general).
