Make ISSN an Option in the "Add Item by Identifier" Function

Hello,

Can you make the ISSN an option when adding an item by the identifier? Perhaps this is a cost issue since I could not find a free site to do ISSN lookups.

If it's supposed to work already, there is a problem at least in one case. Try ISSN 1535-07-03 (with or without dashes) and you will NOT get these proceedings:

Please advise. Thank you.
  • What type of item would you expect to get in response when you submit an ISSN?

    While ISBN, Pubmed ID, and DOI all identify unique books or articles, an ISSN identifies a periodical-- and Zotero doesn't have a periodical type. I can't think of any bibliographic reason to support one, except perhaps as part of the hierarchical items feature that may appear some day.
