Noodle Tools now in Gunn Library

Meg Omainsky, momainsky@pausd.org

Gunn Library has purchased a subscription to Noodle Tools. Noodle Tools is an online subscription-based research tool that helps guide students through their research. It differs from free tools like Citation Machine and Easy Bib in that Noodle Tools offers online student collaboration features, digital, color-coded notecards for direct quotes, summaries and paraphrasing. Also, the tool is linked up with Google docs. When you click Paper in the NoodleBib navigation bar, a new document is created in your Google Docs account. That document is automatically tied to the NoodleBib project, so that you can return directly to the paper by clicking on the Paper button again.

When students share a NoodleBib project with a teacher, they have the option to share the Google Docs paper, too. The teacher gains full edit access to the document and can give students feedback using Google’s comment tool directly on working papers.

Here are some help links to get you started.
