Zotero not working with EBSCOHost

JaneEyre · January 12, 2010

I've been having problems saving records from EBSCOHost (the MLA Bibliography in particular). When I've got a list of multiple results, the folder icon appears, but when I click on it to save the results to Zotero, I get the error message "Could not save item. An error occurred while saving this item." However, if I click on each record individually, I can save them one by one.

The error report # is 456547377.

sample URL and search string please

Sorry! I'm new to this and didn't know to include that. Here's a sample URL for a list of results that I am unable to save --- the search was for (SU) goldsmith and (SU) Vicar of Wakefield:

confirmed:
[JavaScript Error: "translator called select items with no items" {file: "file:///home/sebastian/.mozilla/firefox/wkxw8okh.default/zotero/translators/EBSCOhost.js" line: 0}]

Another Report ID: 1051891180

Individual items from that list still seem to work fine (i.e. follow the link, then use the translator for the article).
Thanks for reporting.

Yes, thanks, the individual items do work, and I've been doing that, as I originally mentioned. However, this does become rather tedious when there's a list of 150-200 items to save.
