REF: citations

[ckitterer <ckitterer@SFS.OR.KR>]

Dear Wise Ones,

I know there is an answer to this question out there. How would you write the 
citation for an online subscription database that provides websites?  I am thinking 
specifically of NetTrekker, but SIRS also provides websites. I have looked at SIRS 
with their citation help and they treat information from a website the same as if 
you had found it on the web yourself. In other words, a citation for a newpaper 
article found in SIRS database is cited differently than a website found in the 
same SIRS database.  I looked at NetTrekker  and did not find an answer there.

My inclination is to treat the website from an online subscription the database the 
same as a newspaper or periodical article. MLA, which our school uses, does not 
address this source in its 6th edition.

What is your opinion?

Thanks for the input.
