Creating a bibliography with bibme.org
Directions for making your Bibliography: Creating Your Bibliography

Examples: 

This is the URL I entered on bibme.org: http://www.trelease-on-reading.com/paulsen.html
I added the sponsor and the date created -- the most recent copyright date.

This is the bibliographic entry that was created: 
Trelease, Jim. "Gary Paulsen-author profile-p.1." Jim Trelease's Home Page. Jim Trelease and Reading Tree Productions, n.d. Web. 31 Jan. 2012.

For SIRS DISCOVERER or World Book Online, you don't have to use a bibliography-maker.  The citations are already made for you.  You'll usually find them at the bottom of the page for the article, and often they are marked "MLA." 
The two sources that I found on SIRS DISCOVERER already had bibliographic entries, which I just copied to my Research on the Internet Page.  Here they are:


Gary Paulsen (1939 - )." SIRS Discoverer. Oct. 29 2002: n.p. SIRS Discoverer. Web. 27 Jan 2012.

Bieselin, Robert. "Novelist Gary Paulsen Talks About His Drive to Continue to Write..." The Record (Hackensack, NJ). 08 Apr 2010: n.p. SIRS Discoverer. Web. 27 Jan 2012.
