New EBSCO Interface - Share permalink to search results
#1
Reynolds has successfully migrated to the new EBSCO interface and I have been reviewing all the new features. I noticed that there is no longer an option to share a permalink to search results, although you can create a link to individual articles. There is a search alert feature but I am not interested in regular email alerts, just a one-time link to search results. I used this search results link option quite frequently with the old interface, not only for myself but when working with students. Do anyone happen to know a work around or have you heard if they might be adding this feature down the road? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've been able to share the URL in the address bar to the search results with fairly good results. It's my understanding that with the new interface all URLs are stable.

Thanks for this update! I now remember an EBSCO trainer mentioning that your can use the URL in the browser address bar to link to the search results and that this should be a stable URL.
