CITING BOOKS IN NOODLETOOLS
 
To cite a print book, choose Print or In-hand and then choose Book from the drop-down list of source types.

Print books published after 1967 can be cited using the ISBN (International Standard Book Number) . The ISBN can be found on the back cover of a book, on the back side of the title page, or in the catalog record for the book. It can also be found in databases containing sources originally produced in print. If you don't find it, we can help you. Books published before about 1967 won't have an ISBN.
