NoodleTools (Login Full Database for Students)

Why use this database? Use NoodleTools when you want to create and organize your research notes, share and collaborate on research projects, create and error check citations, and complete your bibliography in MLA, APA, or Chicago styles. You'll need to Create a Personal ID and password the first time you use NoodleTools.
What's included: Tools to provide you a workflow for your research including creation of notecards and outlines, the ability to collaborate with classmates on group projects, in addition to a citation generator that teaches you how to cite your sources as you complete the citation forms, and the ability to build your complete bibliography.
Use NoodleTools Express if you just need to create a source citation on the fly, then copy and paste it into your document. No login required.
