Looking for help with citations and bibliographies?  Give NoodleTools a try!
 

Looking for a way to make creating your citations and bibliographies in MLA, APA, or Chicago style easier? NoodleTools can help! NoodleTools allows you to easily download citations from most library databases, and will format them in the style you choose - and even create a full bibliography that can be pasted into your research paper!  Just look for the “cite” option when using a library database, and then look for the link that says “Export to NoodleTools":

 

If you are using a source that did not come from a library database (such as a website or print book), you can easily enter the information manually,and let NoodleTools format the citation. It's a great way to make your research easier, more organized, and more accurate!

To sign into NoodleTools, just go to https://library.raritanval.edu/noodletools and sign in using the “Microsoft 365” link, and enter your G# and password when prompted.
