Data Bases

If your article is found on a Data Base, you must provide the same information, in the same order, as for an article found directly in a popular magazine or scholarly journal.  You must then add:

Available online through Union County College (or wherever you accessed the data base) from LexisNexis/Academic (or whatever the name of the data base you are using) at http://www.lexisnexis.com/us/lnacademic/auth/checkbrowser.do?ipcounter=1&cookieState=0&rand=0.5894071694722877&bhcp=1 (or whatever URL your research has produced.  If it is a long URL, paste it into document.  Try to see if the link works.  If not, then shorten the URL to the main page of the data base.  In this case : http://www.lexisnexis.com.  Finally add in parenthesis (Accessed on October 30, 2007)  or whatever date you did your research.

        Example:

Rees-Mogg, William.  "Now Labor Thinks it Can Overrule God."  Mail on Sunday (London)
        (January 28, 2007): FB 04, p. 57.  Available online through Union County College from
        LexisNexis/Academic at:
           http://www.lexisnexis.com/us/lnacademic/auth/checkbrowser.do?ipcounter=1&cookieState=0&rand=0.5894071694722877&bhcp=1
        (Accessed on October 30, 2007).

In this example, the URL is very long and the font had to be reduced to permit indentation.
