Today, 5,000 Sun employees actively use Safari Books Online to get answers to pressing technical questions, to learn new technologies, to read books on management and to provide feedback to book authors. The following year, Sun purchased another 1,000 seats on its Safari Books subscription, and eventually Higgins’ group received enough funding to extend access to Safari Books Online across Sun. Higgins said she had to kick inactive users off the subscription to make room for employees on a waiting list. (The Digital Libraries and Research group is responsible for making sure Sun’s 34,000 employees have access to all the e-books, online journals and market research they need to do their jobs.) These other Sun employees also wanted at-their-fingertips access to technical content from such publishers as O’Reilly Media, SMI Press, Peachpit,, Addison-Wesley and Pearson ( Safari Books Online is a joint venture between O’Reilly and Pearson).
