    How can I set the resolver to locate books in my university library, or other libraries nearby? I cannot just put in the library's URL, right? Then what should I put in there?

    You need to find your Library' openURL resolver address. Zotero should be able to figure this out for you, but I am not sure it it is working. I found out mine using this extension:
    http://www.openly.com/openurlref/ which uses this site http://www.oclc.org/productworks/urlresolver.htm or you could ask someone at your library.

    I have a working resolver by putting this in zotero's 'resolver' field:

    http://aulib2.abdn.ac.uk:9003/sfx_local
    using 'version 1.0'

    To find your resolver address, try this:

    search for something on Google Scholar
    scholar.google.com

    If you can find any articles that say "Fulltext@NameOfYourUniversity,"
    click that link. In my case it was a link to the SFX server which provides the OpenURL resolver for my university library. Use the URL up to (but not including) the question mark. Somehow Google Scholar seems to be set up to do this for many universities already.

    Zotero should theoretically be able to do the same thing if you click "Search for resolvers" in the prefs. I imagine that Google Scholar is just using the same OCLC OpenURL Resolver Registry that we are. You can also check manually.

    Note that it will of course only work if you're on campus or otherwise within a block of recognized IP addresses.

    At the University of Alabama at Birmingham
    http://ak7rt6cb3z.search.serialssolutions.com/?
    seems to work.

    the "search for resolvers button" did not seem to work

    Research members of the Max Planck Society can use the following resolver:

    http://sfx.mpg.de/citation/sfx_local

    With 'version' set to 1.0. (What's that setting, anyway?)

    would be nice to update this how-to documentation

    http://www.zotero.org/documentation/locate

    as the links ("For other OpenURL resolvers") are all broken.

    Thanks for the note. I switched out those links for a link to the known resolvers page. In most cases the default resolver gateway should work.

    Many German (and some other European) institutions can be accessed through http://www.openurl.de/. Just use that address as a resolver (version 1.0).

    Another list of resolvers can be found here http://www.geodok.uni-erlangen.de/geodok/konfiguration.htm. These should also be accessible through openurl.de though.
