NoodleTools: Use Quick Cite

NoodleTools Tutorials

How to Use Quick Cite

Quick cite lets you copy and paste a pre-formatted source reference from a website or online database.

Follow the usual steps for adding a source:  Click New Source>Select the source type.

Instead of adding the information, click copy/paste in the upper right.

Copy the source reference into the Manually-edited citation text box.

Follow the steps in the yellow box to review and make corrections where needed. Use the MLA formatting Guide at the top of the page to help you.  

 

Entering the publication or copyright date of the source will help sort the entry in relation to your other references. If you leave the field blank, NoodleTools still does its best!
