- Need a Book Recommendation? The end of the year brings an abundance of "Best Books of the Year" lists. Check out these Young Adult books, each of which was featured on a Best Books of the Year list.

Noodle Tools Single Sign On
Great news! Students and faculty will now log-in to Noodle Tools, our subscription citation tool and research management system, using their Minuteman Microsoft/Office 365 credentials. Formerly, students would have to remember or access a separate Noodle Tools username and password.
"Following a standard format for citation" is an literacy and research skill that spans subjects and grade levels. (Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, 2017). Below are some Noodle Tools tutorials to share and use with students. Alternatively, reach out and I'd be glad to schedule time to work with your students:
- Using Noodle Tools Library Resource Guide
- Noodle Tools Tutorial (PowerPoint)
- Noodle Tools How-To Tutorials (Video)
- Just need to cite one source? Try Noodle Tools Express
