ow many sources do I need?

You will learn how to get information from both primary and secondary sources and will need to
list those in your bibliography under separate headings for each type.  The guide line is:

 Three Primary Sources of various types including one text, one image and one additional
type of your choice
 Five Secondary Sources with at least two books, one periodical (journal or magazine),
and three web sites
 Three Photo or Image Sources

Wikipedia is a good place to begin research on topics and to get ideas but Wikipedia will not be
an acceptable source in your bibliography.

How will I manage my bibliographic information?

You will use an online platform called NoodleTools to manage your bibliography which also will
automatically format the final hard copy version for you. You will have a log in and password that
you can use to access NoodleTools from any computer with Internet access. Your log in and
password are managed by Susan Trower if you forget them.  Need help knowing how to use
NoodleTools?  See the NoodleTools Guide!

How do I sort primary sources and secondary sources in NoodleTools?

Log in to NoodleTools. Click on your NHD project. Enter in the source. After entering it should
return you to an overall list of all the sources in the bibliography for this project. At the bottom of
the list there is a field that says “Select an attribute”. Click on the source you want to classify and
then select “primary” or “secondary” for that source.  Do this for all your sources. Once done with
that return to the top of the list of bibliography list. In the upper right corner there is a “Sort” field.
As a default, keep the sources sorted “Alphabetic”.  When you are ready to print, sort your
sources “primary/secondary” in the Sort field.  Any source not classified as primary/secondary
will not show up on the list when it is sorted by “primary/secondary.”
