NoodleBib

This week you will learn how to use a reference tool called NoodleBib. This is a very handy way to create, save, and share citations for your sources (in this and future classes). Please follow the instructions to sign up for a NoodleBib account before we go to the library on Wednesday. We will work with NoodleBib in the library to create a shared bibliography. If you would like to preview (not do, just prepare yourself for) the lesson, or think you might need more time to absorb the lesson, watch the video on Elinor’s webpage a few times to become familiar with what you can do using NoodleBib. To get to the video: go to her page for our class ( and scroll down to this section:

NoodleBib Description
With NoodleBib, you can generate, edit, and publish an entire MLA References list (Works Cited page!) that complies with the rules of the current MLA Publication Manual. NoodleBib takes care of punctuation, alphabetization and formatting, producing a polished source list for import into Word.

These instructions are for off-campus creation. If you are on-campus, things will go slightly differently, but you’ll have the same results.
