[aisle] citation builders

I'm a big fan of Noodletools, but they don't have the URL feature for
websites. We can export our database citations directly from the database
which is nice. We have been exploring MyBib this year which I am really
liking. I was actually playing with it this morning. Just like any
citation auto-generator, it isn't perfect, so students will have to make
corrections, but I think it will replace NoodleTools for me in the next
year or so. MyBib also has an extension that will auto-generate citations.
I haven't fact checked this, but one of my teachers just told me that the
extension generates a better citation than copying and pasting the URL into
the website.
