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