Access Dates: Chicago does not require access dates in its citations of formally published electronic sources unless no date of publication can be determined from the source. However, students may be required by their instructors to include access dates in their papers. If so, the access date should immediately precede the URL or name of the database. [14.12; 14.176]

If accessed through a password-controlled library database, a URL based on a DOI is preferable to the URL that appears in the address bar. If there is no DOI available, choose the URL offered with the article, if any. If a suitable URL is not available, list the name of the commercial database rather than the URL. [14.175]
