Turabian 9th edition (note and bibliography) question

mkatc
The style "Turabian 9th ed (notes and bibliography)" is now adding library location and call number to footnotes and the bib, neither of which are required.
We have been using the style "Turabian 8th ed full note no ibid," which did not do this, but that style is no longer available.
Is there a solution for this?

    In what fields exactly do you have that information?
    The Call Number field isn't used anywhere in that style (and library location isn't a field in Zotero).
  • mkatc
    The 'Loc. in Archive" field is capturing the library location and call number.
    Besides "Turabian 9th ed (notes and bibliography" style I have tried several Chicago Manual of Style 18th and 17th styles and the same thing is happening.

    hmm -- we can get you the old style back if absolutely need be (you wouldn't benefit from the improvements made otherwise or any other future updates and fixes), but it'd really be better to clean the library: Loc. in Archive is, as the name suggests, for the location of an item in a physical (or in some rare cases: digital) archive. It shouldn't be in the metadata for books. Is this importing like this from your library catalog? And if so, are you using the Save to Zotero browser icon or export from the catalog?

    I'd very much recommend fixing this in your metadata (you can find instructions for moving or deleting fields in bulk on the forums)

    Yes, it's importing like this from the library catalog (EBSCO Discovery Service).
    I've discussed this with our access services librarian. We are part of a library consortium and we are about to upgrade our UI, which might solve the issue but we won't know till after July 28 when the upgrade happens. In the meantime, it would be great if you could add 'Turabian 8th ed full note no ibid' back in for now. I'm the instruction librarian and I'm preparing my fall instruction materials and that style works for Turabian 9th ed notes/bib style requirements. Thanks again.

    We're not going to add the old style back, I'm afraid, that's just not logistically feasible. Edit: we can provide instructions for getting back old styles for individuals, but won't go back to old styles on the repository.

    My recollection of working with EBSCO and EBSCO DLs is that we're doing some fixing of metadata during import -- are you already importing via the Save to Zotero icon and still getting that? Does your DL have a guest access we can test?
