Although we are using the Laval style guide, I would like us to use the MLA's new policy on citing internet resources. Just this year, they came up with a new rule of thumb that makes good sense to me. (Lauren, you may remember discussion of this in FREN 500.)

I just discovered that having purchased the 7th edition of the MLA Handbook, I can access the whole thing on line once they send me permission (any time now...). I will post the URL etc. as soon as I have it. I highly recommend reading section 5.6 as it deals in an interesting way with problems you will encounter repeatedly in your lives as researchers. The new MLA perspective is that using URLs in lists of works cited or notes has limited value because they often change, can be specific to a session of use, can be impractically long and complex. A URL should be included only when the source cannot be located without it; a URL should always follow the date of access.

An example for the Encyclopaedia Universalis would be (with Laval punctuation but following the MLA example from Encyclopaedia Britannic on p. 186) "Title of Article", Encyclopaedia Universalis en ligne [ital],Encyclopaedia Universalis, 2009, Internet, 23 juillet 2009.
