As much as possible, these examples follow the 2007 APA Style Guide to Electronic References, which has been incorporated into the 6th (2010) edition of the APA Manual. The APA Style Guide to Electronic References states "With the exception of hard-to-find books and other documents of limited circulation delivered by electronic databases, the database name is no longer a necessary element of the reference. If you do include the database name in a reference, do not include the database URL" (p. 2, emphasis mine). I decided to include database names when the database URL would not be distinctive (ex. Ebsco and Gale databases).
