How to Use Noodle Tools



You will be using Noodletools.com to create your bibliography for your research paper. A bibliography is a list of ALL the sources you read when doing your research even if you did not use them for a citation. A works cited page lists only those sources you have cited in your paper. A citation tells the reader of your paper exactly where an idea, concept, information or quotes comes from. You might cite 4 or 5 sources but include 15 resources in your bibliography.
(If you already have a Noodletools account, after opening the website, login and skip to step 2.)

a.       Click Log In

TIP: Each time you find a source for your project create a citation immediately!

2.      Click Create Citation
3.      Select citation type (what type of source are you adding to your bibliography? Where is it coming from? Is it a book, a website, a database?)
4.      Enter all the red starred required information then click Submit
