Two New Resources Available on Headwaters

NoodleBib

Do you have a hard time remembering what to include in your bibliographies? Can’t recall whether to use a period, a comma, or a colon? Well maybe the library’s link to NoodleBib will be your saving grace.

NoodleBib is an interactive subscription service that will help you create bibliographies in MLA or APA format. You will need to log on using the usual library password that all Admirals know, and then create your own personal ID. NoodleBib has two levels of difficulty geared toward middle or upper school students. It will walk you through the process of creating bibliographies by asking you what you want to add to your bibliography (book, web site, journal, etc.), and then providing the appropriate blanks for you to fill in. And when you are finished entering your information, NoodleBib will format your citations, put them in the correct order, and create a list for you to export into Microsoft Word.

Give it a try, and let us know what you think about it.

Marshall Cavendish Digital – Animal and Plant Anatomy

Wondering what the intestines of an earthworm look like? Curious about Elephant respiration? Then take a look at our new digital service from Marshall Cavendish. It provides color charts, maps, photographs, and information about a large number of organisms. If you need to see how the circulatory system works, or want a chart of the respiratory or digestive system, take a look here. Thanks to Mrs. Linda Millard for this generous gift to the Library, given in honor of Stephens Millard ’51.
