New sort-by-subject in Academic Search Premiere

Ever get tired of sifting through irrelevant results in Ebsco's Academic Search Premiere? Check out their new 'clustering' feature. When you do a search, you'll get the usual hodge-podge results ranked by date. On the left, you'll see links to results ranked by Ebsco-assigned subject term. Click on the relevant subject term, and you'll get a smaller but much more relevant set of results.
