This information is gleaned primarily from  the MLA Style FAQ on the web. 
See
\textit{The MLA Handbook}, section 5.2 and others.  We have made some minor changes
for consistency with our inhouse referencing style.  Note that all web citings
should have two dates as emphasized below.

\vskip6pt\textbf{What to Include}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Name of the author, editor, compiler, or translator of
the source. 
\item Title of the work; or title of a posting to a
discussion list or forum (taken from the subject line and put
in quotation marks), followed by the description ``Online
posting.'' 
\item Title of the book. 
\item Name of editor,
compiler, or translation of the text. 
\item Publication
information for any print version of the source. 
\item Title of

personal site; or a description such as ``Home Page.'' 
\item Name

available). 
\item Version number of the source (if not part of
title); or, for a journal, the volume number, issue number, or
other identifying number. 
\item Date of electronic publication,
of the latest update, or of the posting. 
\item For a work from
a subscription service, the name of the service and---if a
library is the subscriber---the name and city (and state
abbreviation if necessary) of the library. 
\item For a posting
to a discussion list or forum, the name of the list or forum.
\item The number range or total number of pages, paragraphs, or
other sections, if they are numbered. 
\item Name of any
institution or organization sponsoring or associated with the
web site.
