AU does not have a subscription to NoodleTools, but the Library does support citation management tools like Zotero and Mendeley, which have similar features.

Both allow for you to store source information and PDFs as you research, and they work with Word to create properly formatted notes and bibliographies. They also include PDF reading and annotation features, sharing sources in groups, and more.

The library officially recommends Zotero for undergrads. It is frequently updated, intuitive, and integrates with Google Docs as well as Word. Mendeley may be a good option for some faculty and graduate students as it focuses more on integration with Elsevier products and has social reading features, as well as more free storage. 

Both are free and can be carried with you when you graduate from AU.
