My sister just told me about a new version of the simple reference-making software called Noodlebib.
Here's how Noodlebib began. Mom was a librarian; son was a computer whiz. They collaborated and created a program that lets even young writers create citations and bibliographies easily. It works for APA or MLA style. There's a free version. The newest deluxe version ($8/year) even enables users to write and organize notecards--virtual or printed.
Here's their website: www.noodletools.com
Here's their blurb:
"At NoodleTools, we create innovative software that teaches students and supports teachers and librarians throughout the entire research process. Search intelligently. Assess the quality of results. Record, organize and synthesize information using online notecards. Format your bibliography in MLA or APA style."
I'm buying Noodlebib for my high school freshman. I'll let you know how it works out.
