Cite a Print Book


Most books have been given a unique number called an ISBN.  Typically you can find an ISBN on the back of the book at the bottom of the cover (if not look at the copyright page).  It can either be a ten digit or thirteen digit number and both are fine to try.  Screenshot Tips

NoodleTools

The district subscribes to NoodleTools (NT) to give students access to a citation manager. In addition to helping you cite and manage sources you can also use it for note-taking and creating outlines.  You can also find information and citation examples on the MLA 9th resource guide -  sau57.org/mla9 

If the tutorial below doesn't help, please remember Ms. Hopkins is here.  Find her at the library or email her through your school Google account - rachel.hopkins@nhsau57.org
