Please note that the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (6th edition) states that:
"If possible, conclude with the URL of the specific document or, if the URL is impractically long and complicated, the URL of the site's search page. Often, however, these services supply material without a URL or with a URL that is unique to the subscribing institution or valid only during the current session. For such services, conclude the entry as described below."
