Barnes (pp. 5-19) To retrieve this file: GET SCHLABAC PRV5N1 F=MAIL The Albert R. Mann Library at Cornell University has built an electronic library, called the Mann Library Gateway, that brings computerized indexes to journal articles, numeric data files, and the full text of journal articles and reference works to users' workstations. Currently, there are over 30 titles in the database list. Most of the titles are individual resources, but some of the titles identify systems that provide access to multiple databases. In total, close to 200 databases are available to the Cornell community through the Gateway.
