Collect URL systmatically

alexdries

Hi,

I wanted to know if there is a way to force Zotero into adding the URL with the connector, even if the document is a book ?

Thanks,
Alex

Generally speaking, no. Can you say a bit more about what you're trying to do and where you're saving from? There might be ways of getting you what you want.

Here is a link to a book notice from a library : https://primo.parisnanterre.fr/primo-explore/fulldisplay?docid=SCD_ALEPH000605224&context=L&vid=SCD&lang=fr_FR&search_scope=all_blended&adaptor=Local Search Engine&tab=all_tab&query=any,contains,generation&mode=Basic

The connector with google chrome on the top right became a book and I can add this notice to my Zotero. However, when I look into the metadata, no URL is added. Do I always have to add it manually ?

Thnaks for your answer.
Alex

The URL in Zotero is included in citations. It should only populate for items where you access the actual object at the URL (rather than a catalog entry such as here), so it won't typically save the URLs of library catalog entries. What do you need that for? You can always get back to the entry using the Library lookup function, e.g.
