Citations:
Please be sure to cite your sources in your paper. Rule of thumb: if you need to look up a piece
of information, then it requires a citation. Use APA format for in-text citations and for the
reference list. If you list a resource in the reference list, it should have a corresponding citation in
your essay.
For a great library tool that generates APA-formatted citations and reference list items, check out
NoodleTools, available through the library. If you need help using NoodleTools, the librarians
are extremely helpful. You can also come by my office during office hours or make an
appointment with me. In the meantime, here are some basic instructions:
Go to www.northseattle.edu and hold the mouse over the Library tab to show the menu. Under
Research Help, click on Citation Tools. Go to the first item, NoodleTools. Create a Personal ID
(or, if you have one already, log in). In NoodleTools, do the following:
 Create a new project
 Select APA citation style, Advanced level; give the project a title
 Under Components, select References
 Select a citation type (book, journal, magazine, etc.) and Create Citation
 Enter information pertaining to resource (author, title, publisher, etc.). When complete, click
submit.
 At the right of your newly-generated reference, you can click on In-text Citation, which will
show you what an APA-formatted in-text citation for the resource should look like.
