Hot on the heels of our big Article Shelf Browser release, we're back with lots of improvements for you across the Article Galaxy product line. This release includes new and improved features for COVID-19 Research Viewer, Bibliogo, Article Galaxy Widget, Article Galaxy News Reader, Search & Discovery, and Clinical Trials Searcher. We also threw in some IE11 compatibility improvements.
