CITATIONS!

Two main understandings for citing your sources: WHAT is it and HOW did YOU access it?

**Databases will export the correct MLA9 citation RIGHT INTO YOUR NOODLETOOLS! "Wait, what? That's awesome!" Remember to write in your source at the top of your 4-Box notes page to keep your notes and sources together. Refer to your assignment directions for pre-search focus areas.

There is a new 2021 main interface to Noodletools this year. Here is a one-minute quick video overview from NT, including how to submit your project to a drop box.

** New for 2022! Screencast: How to Share your NT with the Library

More Sharing Directions: Share your WCs with the Library within the Noodletools App. Click in the blank column below "Sharing" when viewing your list of projects. Click Share with a Teacher's Inbox and then the "+Share." Start typing in your teacher's name, select the correct inbox and click "Done."

**Once you share your works cited, the Library will always see your "live" version. They'll make comments on them and you'll have a few days to fix anything before grading.
