Noodle Tools

NoodleBib MLA Starter is free and designed for novices including students who are just learning to create a bibliography. It introduces citation basics by providing clear, color-coded examples of how to cite the sources they are most likely to encounter (e.g., books, reference sources, journals, magazines, newspapers, Web pages, e-mails, interviews, films, oral presentations, TV/radio, and artwork/photographs). Even emergent readers can enter elements for one citation, then copy and paste the resulting citation into a word-processed document. As students learn to use the NoodleBib software, they can create a folder with several citations and one or more projects, and then export a correctly formatted bibliography into a word-processed document.
