9. doran@uta.edu Michael Doran, Systems Librarian Session state Important in regards to:  Time-out utility  Navigating between skins  Results page canned links As far as I can determine, version 7 of the New Books List maintains WebVoyáge session state. Accomplished via a bit of AJAX code that calls back to WebVoyáge with every New Books List page load.
