The standard BibTeX styles don't really have a facility for online
documents. The best way, I guess, is to use something like Misc and add
the URL in the note field, thus:
\url{http://tobias-lib.ub.uni-tuebingen.de/volltexte/2009/3762}
Then do:
\usepackage{url}
in the preamble, to get LaTeX to break the URL in sensible places.
The alternative is to add your own type to whatever BibTeX style you
like to use. Something like what's below, added to something like
plainnat.bst, ought to work. It defines a new "eitem" entry type, which
expects author, title, year and url.
