How to do scholarly journal articles from databases
This is from OWL MLA:
Cite articles from online databases (e.g. LexisNexis, ProQuest, JSTOR, ScienceDirect) and other subscription services just as you would print sources. Since these articles usually come from periodicals, be sure to consult the appropriate sections of the Works Cited: Periodicals page, which you can access via its link at the bottom of this page. In addition to this information, provide the title of the database italicized, the medium of publication, and the date of access.
Note: Previous editions of the MLA Style Manual required information about the subscribing institution
(name and location). This information is no longer required by MLA.

Langhamer, Claire. “Love and Courtship in Mid-Twentieth-Century England.” Historical
Journal 50.1 (2007): 173-96. ProQuest . Web. 27 May 2009.
Example Works Cited:

Alphabetical by first word in citation (author or first word that is not a, the, or an)

Must be done on a word processor and uploaded to wiki, as I will explain.
