Web of Science not working with IE9

We wanted to let everyone know that Web of Science (Web of Knowledge) does not currently work with IE9. You will have to

use Firefox or Google Chrome.  The Library and ITC computers are still on IE8 so you should be OK there, at least for now.

What we heard from the the company is: “At present, Web of Knowledge is not compatible with IE9.  Product Development is

evaluating the situation but I don’t have a definitive date as to when Web of Knowledge will be compliant with IE9. A workaround

 is to click the Compatibility View toolbar button to display the website as viewed in Internet Explorer 8, which will correct

display problems like missing results, misaligned text, images, or text boxes.   This Compatibility View feature can be invoked by

either clicking on the button with the broken/torn page symbol, or via the menu sequence “Tools -> Compatibility View”,

within Internet Explorer. “
