I searched on "long URLs" in the NoodleTools Knowledge Base (free) and got:
http://www.noodletools.com/kb/index.php?page=index_v2&id=22&c=3 .
You can use the MLA Database Wizard (also free) to see if you should use the
search page or a persistent URL for any subscription service.

"The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we
behave when we don't know what to do."
--- John HoltRegarding Steve's question about tinyurl and citations. I don't
think I
have ever seen that as an APA option (don't use MLA but they tend to be
less up to date with technololgy than APA). However, APA does make it
clear that you do not need to, and indeed should not, give the entire
long address with all the numbers, symbols, etc. Just give the
parent/main page site. Assume that the researcher has enough sense to
get to the document via links just as did the writer. I know I prefer
that.--Mary Ann
