Grade 10-12 students: Please note that Noodletools is no longer available for students to use. Students are encouraged to use Google Citations in Google Docs or a citation generator to create a list of resources used for assignments. Be cautious when using a generator and double-check that the formatting is done correctly. The Online Writing Lab at Purdue University is an excellent source to help with citation questions. ChatGPT is NOT a reliable tool to generate citations as it makes up information and does not format correctly. Please check the library website for updates, tips & suggestions for citations. If you need assistance, please contact Mrs. Wickett at lisa.wickett@ocdsb.ca
