    Google Books no longer working for me on Windows XP. Also, and for me more of a priority; what about archive.org, the "Internet Archive," which unlike Google Books is part of Open Content Alliance, etc...?

    Being able to use zotero to post properly formatted links into wikipedia is great; being able to direct them easily to archive.org instead of google books would be even better....

    thanks,

    WebSPIRS 5

    I don't know of any non-subscription sites using this for you to look at though. My university (Lincoln University, New Zealand) accesses CAB Abstracts (important agricultural database) using WebSPIRS, and I use it a lot.

    Thanks for a great piece of software!

    Hi,

    First, thanks for this great software. It's exactly what I've been looking for.

    I'd like to see zotero compatible with the Artfl french language text database http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/ARTFL/databases/TLF07/

    Also, University of Notre Dame http://www.library.nd.edu/ (which has an icon, but not a translator issue.)

    Sorry if it's already been mentioned, but the journal Cell doesn't seem to have a translator yet.

    I would like to see Nature EMBO Reports section...
    http://www.nature.com/embor/journal/v5/n11/full/7400277.html

    This particular page cannot be saved in Zotero , and Zotero reports a Translator Issue.
    Translation Database is up to date.

    Zotero is wonderful, and it has completely managed to replace EndNote on my computers.

    The RHS bibliography. http://www.rhs.ac.uk/bibl/accesspoint.asp

    I thought I might try and experiment with making a translator, but I don't know enough javascript, and this bibliography seems pretty difficult to do because its bibliographic elements aren't all in separate fields - they're all smushed together into one, which means some major parsing would need to be done (way, way beyond me).

    Hi, I inquired about iris.rutgers.edu in March. The Zotero icon appears and captures data, but the capture is unusable. The come out like this:

    I would love to see CNKI, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure. It has a page here: http://www.cnki.net/index.htm

    Many universities outside China subscribe to parts of it; in the US that's typically through http://china.eastview.com

    CNKI indexes thousands of journals, newspapers, theses, conference proceedings ... everything! It's as if all the various online services that in the West are broken up among various companies and institutions were housed in one place: current issues, back issues (some back to the early 20th century), plus some statistical data. Often, searches and abstracts are available in English, though the articles themselves are mostly in Chinese.

    It has publication information, abstracts, and in many cases PDFs and CAJs (a PDF-like format) of articles.

    For anyone doing work on China, contemporary or premodern, this is an essential source. And it is what everyone in China uses. Making Zotero work with it would both make it useful to scholars in the West and helpful to researchers in China (which it frankly isn't yet).

    I'm using the Proquest/Chadwyck Healey version of the MLA International Bibliography and as a previous commenter noted back in 2006, the zotero document icon is not appearing in the URL address box.

    This version of MLA supports a host of other tools but somehow foils Zotero. Please look into this or tell me what I'm missing. Sincerely, Helen Anderson, U Rochester

    Here's another one. The Zotero icon appears in the URL address box for a document in ISI Web of Science's current version, BUT it doesn't appear in the new version of Web of Science which is running concurrently with the old one. The old version is due to go away in January. This is an important and widely used database.

    It would be great to have a translator for arxiv.org (electronic reprints is physics, math

    I could probably do an ad hoc one, but arxiv supports getting metadata by
    by OAI_PMH v2.0 from the Open Archive Iniative (http://www.openarchives.org/),
    which would seem to be a general standard that would be very important to you.
