[CASL-L] Citation Makers?

[Carol Ansel]

HI Joyce -
I'm a fan of NoodleBib, which does number one on your list beautifully. As
far as numbers two and three, it does not do any direct website
evaluation; one of my favorite search tools is Sweet Search - I refer to
it as "Google with brains" - i.e., actual humans have vetted the sources
that are returned in the search results. I don't always agree with them
100% as to credibility, but most of what they return is right on; when
it's not (IHMO) that's a great teaching point when working with the kids.
The only unfortunate caveat - last time I checked the Sweet Search site
was down (a few weeks ago).

One of the things I really like about NoodleTools is that they have tons
of (optionally displayed) support and scaffolding - the kids usually skip
right by it, but it is there for them to learn from, including, I believe,
info about how to evaluate a source.

Hope this helps.
Carol
