Website Citation in Bibliography

I see in the saved data that the Retrieved Time is recorded. But how do I get that info to be included in the Bibliography?

I am using Firefox and OpenOffice and Chicago style.

While it's slightly ambiguous on the topic, Chicago Manual mostly abandoned retrieved/accessed dates in the 16th edition (which Zotero follows), so short of modifying the style there is no simple way to get those dates in Chicago style - though several other styles will print them.

Because many of us must include that information, instead of updating to only the most recent version of a style, could you please keep the styles in the menu as "Chicago Manual of Style (full note) 14th version" or something self explanatory?

It really doesn't do us much good to put together an automated bibliography when we then have to revise every entry by hand.

apart from the fact that it would be a nightmare to maintain, this wouldn't actually help in this case. The same recommendation was in place for CMoS 15th edition:
http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org.turing.library.northwestern.edu/15/ch17/ch17_sec012.html
originally published in 2003 - I thought this was a more recent decision (APA I believe still included access dates in the 5th edition and now leaves them out in the 6th & we do actually have APA 5th online).
You can try to manually adjust the citation style:

or you can try to convince whoever makes you cite this way that: "It really doesn't do us much good to follow a style manual if we ignore its advice."
