11 Your title should be a brief phrase (just 1-2 words) that highlights what your notecard will be about. You have two options: 1) Paste text directly from your source in the box on the left. OR 2) Paraphrase/summarize a fact or idea from your source. The My Ideas box is for you to add any thoughts or notes of your own. Is there a place where you would want to use your note in your paper? Does this notecard match with another? Is there something else that you want to research? When you re all done, click Save.

12 NoodleTools Creating Piles Once you have all of your research notecards, it is fairly easy to organize them into piles or sections for your paper. Pair similar notecards, and match up those that you think will work well together. Begin by making sure you are in your Notecards tab. You should see all of your notecards here on the dashboard. To create a pile, hold down Ctrl and click on the notecards that you want to pair together. Then, click Add to Pile.

13 You can either add your selected notecards to a pile that you have already created, or you can create a new one. You can begin creating your outline right in NoodleTools. On the right is your Outline box, where you can create your Roman numerals. NoodleTools Outline Drag and drop your notecards where you want them in your paper. The up and down arrows change the order for your sections. You can rename the sections already given to you, and you can make them subpoints clicking on the directional arrows. These will change them from a Roman numeral to a letter. When you re all done, hit the print button. This will export your outline to Word. Once you have created the outline, it is a simple matter of dragging relevant note cards onto sections of the outline to fill it out with evidence. The final stage of your Noodle Tools Odyssey will be to export your annotated bibliography into your I- Search essay. Here s how to do that:
