Abstract
Presents the use of libraries as gateways providing the patron with access to the commercial vendor. Outlines the methods employed by the Mann Library at Cornell University and the Telnet gateway. Considers security, authorization and authentication and connection servers for Web databases. Concludes that there are many issues still to be addressed, including patron privacy and central standards.
