Citation Support is at the bottom of the page.
PRIMARY SOURCES are found within books, databases, and scholarly websites. When citing primary sources, you may need to be in Advanced citation level, depending on the source type. Remember, your primary source needs to help answer your question.
Databases: **Using the Databases and eBooks from Home or on your personal computer? View the Digital Resources Logins and Passwords page. You'll need to sign in with your @apps to view.
**Databases will export the correct MLA9 citation RIGHT INTO YOUR NOODLETOOLS! "Wait, what? That's awesome!"
Remember to write in the title of your source at the top of each research card page to keep your notes and sources together. Once your source is added into NT, you can copy/paste the complete citation at the bottom of your research card page.
