html and meta data differs, how to approach the library?

Jesters · July 14, 2010

Hi!
HTML data and received meta data in zotero differs. HTML shows the 13th edition, Zotero got the 11. edition with this example. No fake, try it yourself please.
Any idea how to approach this?
Here's a screenshot with all you need to see the impossible yourself:

It's almost certainly a problem with the data your library catalog is providing (which you might be able to find yourself if you browse around).

write a note to the library - the data they provide for Zotero (it's probably the MODS data of the catalogue) isn't the same that is displayed - for most library catalogues and similar archives, Zotero doesn't just scrape the data of the page (which is less precise and more error prone) but gets it from a "hidden" layer - this is the case here and it doesn't conform to what the output says.
Nothing on Zotero's side to be done.
