How do I cite an online subscription database?
I am using Word 2007 to create a citation for an EBSCO online subscription
database journal, but cannot find a correct source type. I've tried using Journal article, Article in Periodical, Web site, Document from a web site, and Electronic source. Other than editing code, any suggestions for creating this citation? It should include fields for the subscription service, name of database, name & location of my library, and URL. The MLA style citation should look similar to: Woods, Stephanie. "A Work of Fiction." Sunday Times (Sept. 2008). Middle Search Plus. EBSCO. Colorado Academy, Denver, CO. 18 Sept. 2008 http://search.ebscohost.com/. |

You can pretty easily add the fields you need, but coding the entire thing to look the way you want it might be hard. Not really an answer to your question, but why do you need an online database type? An online database is nothing more than a digital library. Saying you can find the work at "http:// search.ebscohost.com/" is like saying you can find the work in the city library of Los Angeles. Sure you can, but you can also find it in the city library of New York. And the publisher of the work probably has it in his archives as well. Actually, you could say that http://www.google.com is an online database, it lets you search it, and it pinpoints you to places on the internet were you can actually find the document. Online database are nothing more than a place where journal/periodical articles are stored. It's the journal/periodical that should be cited, not where it can be found. Yves |

How do I cite an online subscription database?
According to the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 6th ed. by
Joseph Gibaldi, "If the journal is included within a database, state the name of the database(underlined) after the print information for the article; follow with the date of access and the relevant URL within the database." (p. 222) Until Microsoft programs their bibliography to adhere to the MLA rules, we'll just continue using NoodleBib and other bibliography tools. Thanks for your answer!
