Directions for moving student projects from a NoodleBib Starter account to a CV account:

Create a CV student account folder if not already done. (NOTE: If you cannot create a CV account because the student has used the same Personal ID and Password for CV accounts, log on to the student’s NoodleBib Starter account using their ID and Password and update their profile, changing their ID by adding a 1 immediately after. Then log out and create a CV account.)

Log on to the student’s NoodleBib Starter account using whatever Personal ID and Password they used to create it.

Check the boxes in front of all the student’s projects.

Click on the Copy box at the bottom of the list.

Choose “another user’s folder” and type in the student’s CV account Personal ID. Click on the copy button at the bottom. (NOTE: If there is no valid ID [i.e. you spelled it wrong] you will get a message indicating so and if there is more than one account with the same ID [i.e. associated with different school district accounts] you will be given a choice of which student account you want to copy to [choose CV].)

OPTIONAL: If you really do not want students using the NoodleBib Starter account, delete their projects and then update their profile, changing their ID by adding a 1 immediately after if not already done so in step 1 above.

Directions for combining multiple student projects into one project:

NOTE: Use this for student’s who created more than one project for citations rather than adding citations to the original existing project.

Log on to the student account.

Check boxes in front of projects that you want to combine.

Click on the Merge button at the bottom. You will need to give this project a name (different from any used already).

Delete individual projects if desired.
