The easy way to handle this is to create a smart folder (saved search) for your new books.

Open your Calibre folder in Finder, and hit Cmd+Option+N to create a new smart folder. Add two criteria: "Name ends with .epub" and "Last modified date is within last 7 days" (or whatever period you want). Save this somewhere convenient.

Whenever you add new books to Calibre, open the smart folder and it will show your latest books. You can just drag and drop them from there to iBooks.

(If your search in the Calibre folder isn't showing any epubs, you may need to get Spotlight to re-index the folder. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409)
