 unless it is a graphic image of the actual page, i would cite the site.

i worked with the senior english teacher with his research classes and he
felt that the actual source should be noted.  for example, if a student
used a sirs article, his bibliography should note that that was were the
article came from.  he didn't mind students using sirs, but he wanted the
students to realize that it was packaged and that they had not come
across it using various journal indices.

i had ebsco's academic abstracts in my high school library and did try
the full text, but it was not the article--no charts, graphs, etc.  if
ebscohost is the same, i think it should be listed as the site in the
citation.

perhaps overly fussy, but in the one semester course we had students
writing papers in excess of 30 pages and ones that would receive high
grades in upper-level college courses.

awareness and precision are very useful tools.
