- Noodle Tools Citation :
1) Log onto Noodle Tools. If you have never used it, you will have to set up an account. If you have used it in the past, they may ask you to revalidate it. Set up:
Personal ID ______________________________
User Name _______________________________
2) On your home page, click on “create a new project” in the upper right hand corner.
a. For “citation style” select MLA
b. For “citation level” select Advanced
c. In the “Description Field” type in the name of the subject you are researching
d. Click on “Create Project”
3) Once you have created your project, on your Dashboard, scroll down to “Components” and click on “Works Cited.”
4) In the upper left hand corner, it will say “cite a”… and then it will give you a drop down menu. Select the type of resource you are looking at.
5) Fill in all the information available to you. (You won’t be able to find all the information they ask for—often.) Keep scrolling and filling in.
6) When you are done, click on “Submit.”
7) To Print, click on “Print/Export.” Export to “Word.” Add a heading. Then print. Do not try to save it to your documents. The formatting becomes unorganized. Your Works Cited will be saved in your Noodle Tools account, which you can access from any computer! (If you go onto the Gelinas Blog).
***If you are feeling adventurous, explore the “Notecards” feature. Excellent for quotes and notes.
