The library staff is once again offering NoodleTools workshops for students interested in learning this utility.  NoodleTools is a web-based utility that helps writers of research papers format bibliographies in MLA, APA, and Chicago styles. In addition, NoodleTools helps users to organize notes, create outlines, share research progress with instructors, and output bibliographies to word processors. Just show up; reservations are not required.

The schedule for workshops is:

Main Campus

Blount County Campus

Division Street Campus

Magnolia Avenue Campus

Instructors have offered extra credit for attending NoodleTools workshop in the past. Check with individual instructors to see if they are offering NoodleTools credit. Librarians will again issue certificates of participation, which can be presented to instructors who offer credit.

We look forward to seeing you in these workshops.

NoodleTools experienced some server issues most of the day yesterday.  We have now been notified that this has been fixed and NoodleTools is now running normally.

The vendor writes that no data has been lost, and this has been the first time in 13 years that they have experienced an issue with the NoodleTools database.

Our apologies for this occurence.  Thank you for letting us know that there were problems.
