NoodleTools for Researchers

NoodleTools has two main components -- source citation and note-taking. In general, you'll want to add a source citation first, then create notes for that source. Your notes can be information about where you found this source, how you want to use it, or questions about the source. This makes it simple to link your notes to the proper source.

• Click the project's title to open it.
• Next Click on the New Source button at the top of the screen. You'll be prompted to select "where" your source is (i.e., in print, on a website, in a database, etc.) and "what" your source is (i.e., a book, a magazine, a web page, etc.). After you make your selections, a new form appears.
• Fill in the citation form with information about your source, then click Save. The new citation appears on your Sources screen.
