Zotero won't download call numbers

Hi,

When a download a citation from various university libraries (espcially Harvard's), the call numbers are not included. Is there a setting I'm missing? It's making me nuts.

Thank you
Laura

Zotero imports from Harvard's Hollis library catalog via the COinS translator, i.e. metadata embedded in the site. COinS doesn't have a field for call numbers so neither Harvard nor Zotero can do much about that.
It'd be possible, I think, to write a translator for Summons catalogs like Harvard (and University of Chicago's Lens), but since they do import fine in general it's not a high priority for me.
AFAIK you should get call numbers from Hollis Classic.
