    It seems that the sites that need a membership work better than free sites.

    Free sites for Economics /Management papers
    Ideas which uses RePEc

    I'd love to see Zotero work with the library catalog at the University of Mary Washington . The icon appears when I get a list of results, but I get a "Could not save" error when I click it. The icon doesn't appear at all when I go to full record view. . .

    Once Metalib 4.0 is released in early 2007, it would be enormously helpful to see a site translator for it. I'm sure customers of other metasearch engines would make that a high priority also (and I'm sure the Zotero developers could find subscribing sites that would grant them test accounts for access).

    There was an early post in this thread about the OhioLINK Electronic Journal Center. We're moving to a new interface in January (public preview available now) that will include Zotero support for individual articles.

    I have been in email correspondence with librarians at my university. I was wondering if I could forward some of these emails to someone at the Zotero project, since they contain tech stuff that might be of use for making zotero work with some of our research databases. If so, please email or post an email address I can send this info to. Thanks

    You can send the info to translators at zotero.org.

    American Theological Library Association . This is a subscription site, but I will be spending a LOT of time here over the next 4 years, so if Zotero can read it, it will save me lots of time.

    I'm mainly interested in the Serials subscription.

    Inculding Australian premium (and free) combined library catalogue database would be great for all people here not just academics and students:

    Thank you.

    For many sites, like nature.com, it's possible import an item into Zotero by simply clicking on the link that's called something like "Export reference". This is almost as good as a translator, the only difference being that instead of having an icon in a standard place (the address bar), one must instead locate the "Export reference" link on the site in question.

    Therefore, how about this for some rudimentary "translators":

    For nature.com: Zotero knows to look for a hyperlink called "Export reference" and click on it.

    For prl.aps.org: Zotero knows to look for a drop-down-list item called " - Endnote @ (RIS)" and click on it.

    Is this just as good as teaching Zotero how to scrape the page, or am I missing something?

    i vote for proquest databases. though they look like they're all the same format (from my library service anyway) what i use is the historical newspapers.

    similarly, EbscoHost Direct databases like Academic Search Premier.

    both of these seem to be recognized by Zotero currently but I've always gotten the "cannot be saved / contact translator author" error.

    thanks for you consideration :)

    Microsoft Live Search Academic. Now you can copy and paste the references in several formats which Zotero can import, but there's no 1-click functionality.

    //I was also unable to get OCLC/FirstSearch to recognize Zotero,//

    I cannot get this to work either. I also get errors with Ebsco. I can't import RIS anymore either. Sadly, I often times end up repeating the search through Google Scholar and grabbing the reference from there, if it's available. I've been doing a lot of hand entry lately. :P

    APS sites, such as

    pra.aps.org (and variations, such as prb, prc, prd and pre)
    prola.aps.org

    And the IOP site

    www.iop.org

    I'll second APS sites. But really, having a translator for ISI Web of Science almost makes translators for these separate science journals redundant. The only problem (for me) is that Web of Science capitalises all its journal names!, so that Zotero ideally needs some sort of name-standardising feature.

    I would like to see working support for the Horizon Information Portal 3.0, which is what is used by the libraries of the University of Chicago. Zotero pretends to work, i.e. an icon shows up at the end of the URL, but when it is clicked, an error message appears that says COULD NOT SAVE ITEM, An error occurred ... contact the translator author.

    Turabian. It is a very close relative of Chicago but has some additional formatting for theological studies (particularly the formatting of entries in multi-volume theological dictionaries, multi-volume linguistic wordbooks, etc...).

    Proquest
    Academic Search Premier

    I look forward to the day Zotero can detect all the bibliographic info that comes up on a search page from these sites, let me choose the articles I want, and then automatically download and RENAME the associated PDF file in my favored style (Last name of first author, year, Article title).

    Keep up the great work! I haven't dumped Endnote yet but I expect to as this program gets further along. It already has many advantages over Endnote but I have a lot invested in my Endnote 7 library so I am going to wait just a little longer to switch . . .

    I've found a few journal article sites that are not supported. One of the more major ones to fix would be Cambridge Journals Online (https://journals.cambridge.org/) -- Zotero doesn't recognize this site at all, at least for me. -- This occurs with the site security and without.

    And the other is Lawrence Erlbaum journals (http://www.leaonline.com).
