[CASL-L] Noodletools vs Easy Bib

[Janet Kenney]

I second this request.  I've been following a similar discussion over at this
blog<http://theunquietlibrarian.wordpress.com/2012/03/27/easing-their-citation-pain-putting-the-focus-on-critical-thinking-in-research-with-easybib/>
and
you can find other discussions by googling "easybib v noodletools."

I've been using Noodletools for the past 7 or so years and have been
hesitant to make the switch to EasyBib.  I don't like some of its features
- autociting and the evaluation
extension<http://blogs.slj.com/neverendingsearch/2012/10/23/easybibs-new-extensions-twotoo-easy-buttons/>you
could add in chrome.  It seems students that we are working with cannot
identify mistakes/omissions in these automated processes.  If they don't
know that something is missing, how can they fix it? Sure, I've heard
plenty of people say noodletools is harder for students to use, but I think
it is worth it.  It forces them to look at all of the components of  a
source--which I also ask them to do when evaluating sources.  I see it as a
kill two birds with one stone: evaluate + make a citation.

Seems I went a bit rambly there.  This questions does plague me though.
