Keep track of the details (especially your Personal ID and
Password) in a safe and “easy to retrieve” location!!
We highly recommend that you dedicate a special page in
your agenda for keeping track of all of your ESA logons
and passwords...
Inside NoodleTools you can create lists (Works Consulted
folders) for each and every project that you will work on during
your school career. These lists:
· are able to be edited an infinite number of times;
· provide hot links to the sources you cite;
· generate embedded (parenthetic) citations/references
for you with the click of your mouse;
· are accessible from any computer anywhere;
· format your Works Consulted for you; and,
· can be printed with one click of your mouse from any
computer anywhere.
REMEMBER...
· If you’ve done research... you need a Works
Consulted.
· No paper, project or presentation will be evaluated
without a Works Consulted.
· Using information from source materials is accepted
and expected in academic research. Whether fact,
opinion, quotation, idea or expression... it’s OK as
long as you source and cite.
· The Works Consulted allows the reader to check on
the accuracy of your information... and/or search for
further information.
· You must have separate entries (citations) for every
source you use. Inside a single website you must
create a new entry for every page (each time the URL
and/or page title changes).
