What happened to the custom searchbox on this page??

CrossSearch will soon be replaced by a new search service that will let you find more articles even faster--great news for your research!  However, personal CrossSearch accounts will not transfer.  If you have a CrossSearch account you will need to email any saved records or searches to yourself by Monday, May 21. These accounts will not be accessible after that date.  Here's a Short video Tutorial on saving records.
