Article in Database Sec. 17.2.7:

If you locate an article in a database with PDF accessibility, cite the PDF as a print source.  It is much easier!

Some databases do not allow for linking individual URLs (Ebscohost databases) or DOIs (preferred).  When citing from these, in place of the URL, write the name of the database in italics and follow it with http://www.ebscohost.com.

Date of access is optional.  If included, put it before the URL or DOI.  Turabian, 7th ed. puts the date in parentheses after the URL; but the Chicago Manual, 16th ed. (more current) says put the date before the URL/ DOI.
