To use url with a plain
bibliography style you can use this format:
@misc{Doe:2009:Online,
author = {author},
title = {Title of Citation},
year = {2010 (accessed December 7, 2014)},
howpublished = "\url{http://www.myurl.com}"}
Additionally you need to add the url package
\usepackage{url}
If you want to use the url attribute in you need to use natbib because standard bibstyles (such as plain) will not typeset the url key contents of the individual entries; it is required to use one of natbib’s own entries, e.g. plainnat.
For example
@ONLINE{Doe:2009:Online,
author = {Doe, Ringo},
title = {This is a test entry of type {@ONLINE}},
month = jun,
year = {2009},
url = {http://www.test.org/doe/}
}
and the document
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\bibliography{test.bib}
\title{BibTeX Website citatations with the \textsf{biblatex}~package}
\date{}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\nocite{Doe:2009:Online}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
