BHA

jeaniemeanie

I have to use the bibliography of the history of art for my research (BHA).

it is this one:
http://library.getty.edu:7101/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&PAGE=First

why isn't it possible in this bibliography to import titles directly to zotero? the "book-icon" does just not show up in the browser-line.

an example:
http://library.getty.edu:7101/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=11&ti=1,11&Search_Arg=kris%20kurz&Search_Code=GKEY^&CNT=25&PID=s16eFBC15YKh9tGKg-tUPUtVB&SEQ=20100618070106&SID=1

is there a way to explain or correct that?

is there a way to explain or correct that?

The translator for the library catalog that Getty uses did not support the unique way they make MARC data available. A patch has been submitted:

"A patch has been submitted:"

does that mean I can downoad this patch and install it somehow to solve the problem?
if so, how?

(sorry for not being a programming nerd, I'm just a simple phd student in humanities...)

in general this will just be included in Zotero by someone and you can just wait and have it fixed.

you can implement the patch yourself if you're in a hurry - but it's a little more techy:
you'd have to find the file "Library Catalogue (Voyager).js" - which is in the translator folder of your Zotero directory
( http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#locating_your_zotero_library )
then, because the patch is really simple, it's probably the easiest if you just open it with a text editor (TextEdit), look at the .diff file that noksagt produced
https://www.zotero.org/trac/attachment/ticket/1671/BHA-Voyager.diff
and delete the lines shaded in red and add the lines shaded in green.

If you want to do this the "right" way, see here about using diff and patch
http://stephenjungels.com/jungels.net/articles/diff-patch-ten-minutes.html
it's written for linux, but it's exactly the same on Mac.

Either way you can restore translators from Zotero, so it's not really a problem if you mess up.

The patch was committed, so you can download the updated version from here and drop it in your translators directory, replacing the existing file:

https://www.zotero.org/svn/extension/trunk/translators/Library Catalog (Voyager).js

Be sure to keep the .js extension.

(Normally committed translators get pushed to clients pretty quickly, but at the moment nothing will get pushed until next weekend at the earliest.)
