Using a citation generator?

The point of having a URL in your citation is so that someone else can easily track down the source, but most URLs from library database citations will stop working after the session ends. Simply delete it, or if your instructor requires a URL, look for the "Permalink" icon in the article description and place the URL generated after the name of the database.
