I use Mendeley for article management and export the related items to a bib file for referencing in LaTeX documents. I use IEEEtran style and see that the bibliography items include URLs which I don't want to include. The URLs may have URLs like this:
Available: http://www.mendeley.com/research/improved-adaptive-background-mixture-model-realtime-tracking-shadow-detection-6/
As a solution, I can delete the URL in Mendeley and export it again but I want the URLs remain. I only want them to be hidden in the references. Is there a command to disable URLs in bibliography?
P.S.: I'm not interested in typesetting the URLS as given in this question.
Additional information: I've used the following code for the bibliography:
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{IEEEabrv,references}
There's a file named references.bib in the working folder.

I guess you use the
IEEEtran
bibliography style coming along with theIEEEtran
document class. You can easily adapt this style to ignore anyurl
fields in your bibliographic database. To this end, copy the fileIEEEtran.bst
to your working directory (if it isn't already there) and apply the following patch:
