The Find Duplicates plugin can help with this as it can compare two libraries.
Another thing you can do is to have calibre add a "new" tag to the book when it is added to your library. Then you will know which is the new book when you do the duplicates check. Of course, you need to remember to remove this tag when you finish this and any other processing you do for new books.

- that describes what I and several others in my group do.
In my case, after running
Find Duplicate->Find Library duplicates on books flagged as "Ready to go" (a Yes/No column), the books that are
not duplicates (hopefully, most if not all of them) are copied to the Main library, the duplicates are copied to a Duplicates library where, in the fullness of time, they get dealt with manually.
