Eric,

I have created a Firefox toolbar for my library. You can download it
from here:
http://www.maldura.unipd.it/biblio/download/toolbar/toolbar.html
[Italian language only]

I don't know anything about Internet Explorer toolbars, but to build a
FFox toolbar you need to know some Javascript, some CSS and some XUL.
For anyone with some previous experience of html, XUL is quite easy to
learn and there are may good examples on the web and tutorials too.
Those that I found most useful were:

- XUL Tutorial at "Xul Planet" http://www.xulplanet.com/tutorials/xultu/
- Firefox Toolbar Tutorial at "Born Geek"
http://www.borngeek.com/firefox/tutorial/
- Dev : Extensions at "mozillaZine"
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extension_development
- How to create Firefox extensions at "roachfiend.com"
http://roachfiend.com/archives/2004/12/08/how-to-create-firefox-extensions/

but there are many other resources all over the web, here you find a
collection of links:

Good Luck,
