How I Have Used Purdue OWL…I have used Purdue OWL many times to help

me with English assignments and writing assignments in general. I have found it very useful to be able to use one website and find everything I need to know about how to write a better paper.

I also get very confused and often forget how to cite sources correctly, so having a website that shows you what a cited resource looks like really helps!

Citation MachineCitation Machine can be used to

help you cite a source in either APA or MLA format.

This website has spaces for you to fill in with the information needed to create the bibliography entry (i.e. author, date of publication, title, city of publication).

Then you push a single button and it does all the work for you and puts the information into a cited reference.

My Experience With Citation MachineI have used Citation Machine since elementary

school. I find it very useful how the website gives you

spaces to fill in with the information needed. This makes it easy to get the information that you need to make a proper citation. It also makes the process go very fast because if you are confused as to which information is which, you can have the spaces to fill in and a completed citation next to each other, which will help you know which information is which.

Noodle ToolsNoodle Tools is a website that helps

you to be able to take notes better and to cite your sources easily.

Within the Noodle Tools website is a tool called Noodle Bib.

Noodle Bib is used to help make citations. It gives you a step-by-step run through of how to cite a source correctly. It even asks you specifically what part of a source you are citing so that it makes sure you are using a correct citation for that specific source.

How To Use NoodleBib ExpressChoose which format you want your citation

to be in.Choose the correct source type, if asked to do

so.Choose the publication medium, if needed.Choose which part of the source you are

using.Enter the information needed.Add annotation if needed.Click generate citation.

How I Have Used Noodle ToolsThroughout elementary school, my teachers

always had my classes using Noodle Bib to make citations.

I find this website very helpful because it narrows down what type of source you are using and even narrows the part of the particular source you are using.

I still continue to use this website to help me with citations needed for my classes in college.
