NoodleBib

If you have ever wasted hours sifting through your preferred style manual (my department uses APA) looking for more information on how to cite that one, obscure source, then NoodleBib may be a good option for you. According to their website, NoodleBib is a:

“Powerful note-taking software that promotes critical thinking and creativity combined with the most comprehensive and accurate bibliography composer on the Web. MLA, APA, and Chicago/Turabian styles.”

I’ve been using it for about 5 years and recommend it to anyone who asks about online bibliography management. It’s loaded with features, flexible, and easy to navigate. Well worth the $8/year subscription. Check out the trial today at: Noodletools.com.
