In case you are in charge of making sure your library web site is compliant with the various browsers that our users have, here is a story in the December 10th Information Week that might be of interest. Penn State Tells 80,000 Students to Chuck IE

(I learned about this story from Patricia Anderson, on the Medwebmasters-L list.)
I currently use Firefox http://www.firefox.com/ , and Safari http://www.apple.com/safari/ on both work and home computers. Some library electronic resources have a ways to go in order to be easily accessible on those browsers, however. With news like the article above, I am sure that distance education and eresource vendors will have to address the 'alternative' browsers, or lose money and/or users.
