In Noodletools, cite primary sources based on where you found them (database, website, print, viewed/heard live) and what type of source it is (check out the whole grid of color-coded options). These can be tricky, so if you have questions, ask a librarian!
Primary sources, or firsthand accounts of events, include speeches, videos, newspaper articles, and much more. They are found in a wide range of sources, including books, databases, and high-quality websites.
