[Web4lib] Web browsers and library databases

[Sara Brownmiller]

We are upgrading our public workstations this fall and are reviewing 
whether to offer only Internet Explorer or whether to also offer 
Firefox.  Has anyone compiled a list of databases/resources typically 
offered by a library and whether they are fully compatible with the 
major browsers and versions?  For example, do most databases perform as 
expected in Internet Explorer 7, as opposed to 6?  Do you get good 
performance with Firefox?  Do you know of databases/resources that 
specifically have problems either with IE7 or with Firefox?

I've done some quick Web searching and haven't seen anything that might 
provide an answer.

thanks, Sara
