Noodle Tools is a useful program that will help you create citations in either MLA or APA styles.  It also generates Word documents from your citation list with correct MLA/APA punctuation and formatting.

Helpful Tips for Citing in Noodle Tools:

•    When citing articles from Oxford Art Online, choose Reference Source as your citation type in the drop-down menu of Noodle Tools.
•    When you select the first result in Oxford Art, it is generally from an encyclopedia titled "Grove Art Online" -- this is what you would put as the name of the encyclopedia when creating your citation.

• Put in as much information as you can - but when citing reference sources in Oxford Art Online you may not be given page numbers, place of publication, date of publication, or author.

• When citing an artwork image from ArtStor or Oxford Art or Heilbrunn you will choose Work of Visual Art as your citation type in the drop-down menu of Noodle Tools.

Always remember to provide citation information for any images or other sources you use.

How do I cite an informational plaque or an information card?

This includes museum labels.

Treat informational plaques/cards as you would any other source. Make sure to include the core elements, in the proper order, and provide as much information as your readers will need to locate the source. Use the title of the plaque as the title of your source. If you have experienced an object firsthand, such as in a museum, give the name of the place, the city in which it is located, and the dates of the exhibition.
