This week we are focusing on great websites for note-taking. Change the way you keep track of notes by using one of these online resources. With online notes, you always have a backup, and easy access (as long as you have an Internet connection.)
Noodle Tools
NCS has a school-wide subscription to Noodle Tools, a great note-taking and citation tool. Anytime you come to the library, you've probably heard about this tool as part of our instruction. Noodle Tools allows you to easily create MLA and Turabian bibligoraphies.
Over the summer, Noodle Tools was updated to provide more features, making it easier to link notes to sources and class projects. The NCS librarians look forward to integrating more of these new tools into our instruction.
If you haven't already done so, make sure to create a personal Noodle Tools account by following the instructions in our Tips In a Minute Series on NoodleTools. Updates to these videos will be coming soon!
Evernote
Evernote is Mr. Chase's organization and note-taking application of choice. Evernote is a web-based service that also has applications for Mac, PC, iPhone and Android. To get started with Evernote, simply create an account, create folders, and begin taking notes.
In addition to traditional typed notes, Evernote also lets you easily copy entire webpages, upload PDFs and other documents to a note, add images, and even forward email messages to your Evernote account.
Watch this quick video to learn more about how Evernote works.
Diigo
Diigo is a web-based highlighting, screen-capturing, and note-taking tool. It's a great way to highlight text and add sticky notes directly on web pages in order to save them later. Like Evernote, in order to use Diigo, you need to create an account, download a bookmarklet to your Internet browser, and then begin research.
To learn more about Diigo, watch the video on the Diigo homepage.
