How to Export a citation to your Noodletools Project from EBSCO

1.First,  make sure you have created your Noodletools account before you do anything!  

2. Second,  make sure that you are logged into your Noodletools account in a browser, such as Google Chrome or Safari. You should also create an project for your research project and name it something you can remember, like "ENG III paper."

3. Next, locate the Cite button at the top of your screen when your item is open.  Go ahead and click on Cite.

4. Once you click on Cite,  you are given two options -  copy your citation or export your citation.  Go ahead and click on Export Citation. 

5. Then, you should be given a list of tools to export your citation to.  At this time,  you need to select the last option given - Export to Noodletools.

6.  At this time, a new tab should open up and it will give you a preview of the citation, and ask what project you want to send the citation to. Make sure your research project is selected,  and then press Import.

7.  Finally, when you go back to your Noodletools project and refresh the page, you should see your citation!

How to Export your Works Cited Page in Noodletools

When you are completely done importing citations, you can export your Works Cited page for your teacher, along with your completed paper. 

1. When you are ready, open up your project folder in Noodletools.

2. There should be a blue box with an arrow on the top; this is the symbol for "Export."  Go ahead and click on this symbol.

3. A drop-down menu should appear with option for you. Select the first option, Print/Export to Google Docs. 

4. A box should appear with formatting options for your sources; make sure All Sources is selected. Then select Submit.

5. Google Docs should then open up for you on your iPad, along with your newly created Work Cited page.  At this time, you can:

• double check your formatting of your sources

• add any headings that your teacher wants (e.g., name, class, date, etc.)

• save this document to a folder for future reference... 

How to Create an Annotated Bibliography in Noodletools

1. First,  make sure that you are logged into your Noodletools account in a browser, such as Google Chrome or Safari.  Make sure that before you begin that you have ALL of your citations that you need added to your Project Folder. Otherwise, you will be doing more work than you need to.

2. Go to the My Projects page; it should be the page that loads first after you log into Noodletools.

3. Next, locate the project you're using for your annotated bibliography. Click on the title of your folder.

4.  Locate the resources you are using for your annotated bibliography in your project folder. For each resource, click on the empty space under the heading TAG. 

5. You will be given a list of tags that you can apply to your resource. I would recommend using one of the colors given, such as green. (If you think about it, you're giving the "green light" for these resources to be in your annotated bib.)

6.  Once you've tagged your annotated bibliography resources,  you now need to add your annotations for each source. Do this by selecting the source & scrolling all the way down to where you see the Annotation header. 

7. Type up your annotation for that source. Make sure to press Save at the top right corner.  Repeat for each source listed. 

8. Once you're done adding your annotations, then follow the above directions for How to Export your Works Cited Page in Noodletools.  (Make sure that you select only the tagged resources that go into your annotated bibliography, not "all sources".)
