Facts.com databases are proprietary databases. That means the company is responsible for researching and writing its own content. That makes citation easier – not intuitive - but definitely easier.
Articles in Issues and Controversies are cited as magazine articles
because they were originally published in print form by Facts.com,
the publisher of the Issues and Controversies database.

Creating a Notecard in NoodleTools for Issues and Controversies
Even if you won’t be making notecards right away, after you create your source card, keep your source open and create one notecard with a title and the URL for that source. Later, you will be able to access your source from that notecard in NoodleTools and create your notecards without opening Issues and Controversies.
- On your NoodleTools Works Cited Page, click on NEW in the Notecards column for the citation you just generated.
- In your NoodleTools Notecard. Fill in the Title of your notecard (your teacher calls that a heading). You MUST fill in the Title to be able to generate even a partial notecard.
- To find the URL that goes on your note card, scroll to the Record URL at the bottom of the article in Issues and Controversies. Copy and paste it into the URL box on your notecard.
