Ridiculously Simple Exporting Question...

ejlorge

Hello All,

I used Zotero a year ago, then took a long time off writing my dissertation. I am back writing and using still using Zotero, but having SUCH a difficult time exporting my reading list into a simple, one line (name, title, date, etc.) format.

I had no problem with it a year ago, but now every single text export option (with TextEdit on a Mac) exports like HTML or XML... Never just a simple list.

For example BibTex looks like this:
___________________________________

@book{perkins_concluding_1997,
title = {Concluding unscientific postscript to {"Philosophical} fragments"},
isbn = {9780865545755},
publisher = {Mercer University Press},
author = {Perkins, Robert L.},
year = {1997}
},

@book{hallward_badiou:_2003,
title = {Badiou: a subject to truth},
isbn = {9780816634606},
shorttitle = {Badiou},
publisher = {U of Minnesota Press},
author = {Hallward, Peter},
year = {2003}

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks!

There is no simple name, title, date export option.

What you probably want is to select the items, right-click, and select Create Bibliography...

Thank you, aurimas. Yes, that was exactly what I was looking for.
