Changes

You no longer have to dig for permalinks! The URL in the address bar is a permalink.
Filters are now located underneath the search bar rather than on the side.
Use the Access Options menu for all of the ways to get the full text of a specific result.
Save results instead of adding them to a temporary folder. Use the "Saved" tab to access all of the results you have saved during this session. If you want to save your results for longer, you will need to sign in with your personal MyEBSCO account.
