[CASL-L] Noodletools vs Easy Bib

[Michele Lane]

I have been comparing the two and quickly created a spreadsheet. I've attached my findings, although many of you may be able to add based upon your own experience.

Hello,  

My school is making the switch to EasyBib School Edition (not the less powerful free version) from NoodleTools. I am at a K - 9 school and NoodleTools just was not working for our population (faculty and students). Having used both, so far I'm finding that EasyBib is working better at my school. We only started our subscription in December and I'm working on training faculty during this spring semester. In my opinion, NoodleTools is an excellent tool, but has a steeper learning curve.

EasyBib School Edition does allow students to share their projects with faculty and/or classmates. (I give my teachers a hint and have them tell students to name their projects in a way that the teachers can easily identify which class a student is in; for example, English_period 5).  I find that it does an excellent job helping students evaluate sources. I also love the LearnCite feature. The outline and note card feature looks and works similarly to NoodleTools feature.

When making these decisions, I always try to look at what's best for my population, and I'm sure that's what all of you do as well!

Hope this is helpful. Have a good day.

	We have been using Noodletools for the past 4 years and like the new additions to it. 
	We are looking at Easy Bib for next year.  I am looking for opinions/experience from people who 
	have used Noodletools but switched to Easy Bib or vice versa.
