NoodleBib Express
Just need one or two quick citations and not an entire source list? NoodleBib Express includes all of the citation forms (MLA, APA, and Chicago/Turabian) available in the subscription version. The difference? Your citations are not compiled into a source list and cannot be saved -- you'll copy and paste the citation you create into your document.
NoodleBib MLA Starter
NoodleBib MLA Starter is designed for students in grades 1-5, introducing our youngest scholars to the basics of citing a source. The tool gives the student clear, color-coded examples of how to cite the sources they are most likely to encounter (printed and online books, reference sources, magazines, newspapers, etc.). Once a 5th grade or ESL student is familiar with the concepts introduced in NoodleBib MLA Starter, the transition to using the advanced versions is simpler. NoodleBib MLA Starter has a limited set of citation types, and does not include the notecards feature.
