When this appears after an internet citation in a dissertation, scholarly work, term paper, etc. footnote, what is the right way to phrase it in English? (last access?) When I was in school and had to write term papers with footnotes, the internet didn't exist, so I don't know the correct form.

Although Helen's suggestions are absolutely valid, the above is also used quite frequently when citing web references.
See, for example,
"Instructions for Authors" at http://www.liebertpub.com/Products/Manuscript.aspx?pid=259
"Web sites:
Author [if known]. Name of web page. Web address. (<B>Last accessed on</B> [date])."
http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=11907&page=168
"1 For more information, see http://opt.zju.edu.cn/osanano. <B>Last accessed on</B> April 10, 2007."
http://www.ics.heacademy.ac.uk/Events/conf2003/miguel.htm
(in the "References" section)
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=58676
(use of both "last accessed" and "last accessed on")

Comment: "That's what I was looking for; the way it's usually done in academic courses, etc. I remember the rather rigid style of regular footnotes so I figured there had to be something similar for internet ones too, but as I said the last term paper I ever wrote was long before the internet days!"

The conventions for citing web resources vary between disciplines. You should note as many essential items of information as possible, such as author, title, publisher, dates of publication and last revision, URL, and date of last access. When using e-print archives you should bear in mind that many contain articles which have not yet been submitted for peer review. It is good practice to review the later, published versions for important changes before submitting your dissertation.

: Steffen Walter (Moderator): "Helen's suggestions are absolutely valid..." What better endorsement could anyone want! I think I might tweak this slightly, though, to “Last accessed on…”

Thanks, Steffen - there is not much difference between our answers and clearly both variants are used, as are in all probability other formulations.
