“Whodunnit?” A high school class project using NoodleBib

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

University Laboratory High School

“Whodunnit?”

Ever feel booby trapped by a search engine? Imagine using an online catalog to search for a book, only your search sends you smack to page 129 of a book. You can’t see the author’s name, find the table of contents for the book, or even figure out when and where it was published. Web searches do the same thing, often landing you right in the middle of a web site. How do you find the information you need to cite the source?
