Works Cited help using MLA format?

I'm getting information from an online database my school provides and the article I'm using doesn't seem to have an author. How would I list this in my works cited page using MLA format?

At the bottom of the article all it says is:

Source: Contemporary Authors Online, Thomson Gale, 2005.

Source Database: Contemporary Authors Online

Greetings!

Those pesky electronic sources are always a bit tricky. For one thing, it depends on the type of database you are using. Subscription databases include the subscribing library in the citation. Databases available to the public provide only the publisher.

For example:

Medicine Today. Nat. Lib. of Medicine. Access date <nlm.nih.gov/medicinetoday>.

Yours, since it is a datebase provided by your school, which I assume means you need an ID and password to access it, would look like this:

Contemporary Authors Online.. Thomson Gale (2005). Your University Lib., Town. Access date <url>.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,
