NoodleTools

NoodleTools is a citation management platform that helps you to organize sources for projects, cite them correctly, organize your thoughts, and export sources into a works cited or annotated bibliography.

How to Use NoodleTools: The Basics

Our wonderful colleague, Ann Roselle, at Phoenix College Library, made this handy introduction to using NoodleTools.

Create a Project

When you are ready to begin research, create a NoodleTools project. Add collaborators if you’re working with a group. Share your project with your teacher’s assignment inbox to allow them to view and give feedback on your source citations, notecards, outline, and file attachments.

Cite Your Sources

Generate accurate MLA, APA, or Chicago-style citations and format your in-text citations or footnotes. Use an ISBN number or DOI to import citation information for books, articles, and reports, or take advantage of our “Export to NoodleTools” database integrations to produce citations from their article metadata.

Create a Notecard

Make connections, develop original ideas, and articulate arguments. Use our intuitive, visual “tabletop” to manipulate, tag, and pile notecards, then connect them to topics in your outline to prepare for writing.
