NoodleTools Guide

Select Sources icon from Projects screen

or from Contents menu when project is open

NOTE: the number 3 next to the Source icon example is the number of sources for the project.

On the Sources screen top menu bar– click "New Source" button

Begin adding a new source by identifying where your found the source.

• The NoodleTools pop-up menu "Where is it?" asks you to "click the option above that describes how you accessed this source."
• Options are: "Database", "Website", "Print or in-hand", "Viewed/heard live", "File, app, e-book", or "Other".

Why is this important? Each option retrieves a different form and requires different information. For example, the same article from the same scholarly journal discovered in database, found on the publisher's website, or used from the library's print copy of the journal requires slightly different information.

NoodleTools next prompts you to select the source type. From the list of sources under "What is it?" select the option that best describes your source.

• The options vary depending on where you found your source.
• Typical source types from a library database are journals, magazines, and newspapers. The library database generally identifies the source type for you.
• Ask a librarian for help identifying the source type if you have a problem.
