REF: citations

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

Dear Wise Ones,

I know you have an answer to this question.  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 do you do?

Thanks for the input.
