The EBSCO database has made changes over the summer.  It may look a little different than before.  Here are a list of changes:

• Select any database from the front page and you can change it later by using the pull down menu option within that database.
• Now limit your searches by clicking on the type of material you want.  NEW!! This option now includes "Peer Reviewed Journals".
