NoodleBib is an online citation
generator that takes care of punctuation and helps students
produce a polished source list that’s correctly
formatted and ready to print. Fay School has a subscription
to this very useful tool, and there is a NoodleBib link
on the Fay School Library home page.
GETTING STARTED
When you click on the NoodleBib link
at Fay School, you will see the following message:
You have been automatically
authenticated into the Fay School subscription.
When you use NoodleBib for the first
time, click the CREATE A
PERSONAL ID link. Be sure to choose
I AM A TEACHER OR LIBRARIAN. You will be prompted
to choose a user name and password. If you forget
your user name or password, ask a library staff member,
who can look it up for you.
After you log in, click CREATE
A NEW LIST (on the top right side of the page)
to start a new works cited list (bibliography).
Now you see your personal folder, which
has two parts:
MY LISTS
(your own works cited lists)
LISTS SHARED
WITH ME (lists your students have shared
with you)
Click ADD/REMOVE
CLASS NAMES to add or remove classes. HINT:
Use a unique but simple name. Students must type the
name EXACTLY to share their works
cited list successfully.
Remember that students in grades six
through eight use MLA STARTER
and students in grade nine use MLA
ADVANCED. The default is MLA
STARTER, so you'll need to remind your ninth
grade students to choose MLA
ADVANCED.

HOW STUDENTS SHARE A WORKS CITED
LIST WITH TEACHERS
While a student is on the page where
they create your citations, click SHARE.
Student types his/her name in the window
that says MY NAME.
Type the class name in the window that
says CLASS NAME. The
teacher provides the Class Name. Only this name will
work and it must be typed exactly as the teacher wrote
it.
Click SHARE.
Now your teacher can look at the student's works cited
list and can even give you feedback and suggestions.
Students may also create notecards on NoodleBib and
take notes
