    Short answer is that there's something broken about the
    "Rock art at Ben Faraday near Maclear, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Group 1" entry. If you open that entry and try to Export -> "Direct Export in RIS Format", you get an error. So you may want to report it to whoever maintains the catalog.

    We may want to try and handle this more gracefully though. I was thinking that we should import the item with just the title and attach a link to the EBSCOhost record so that the user can fill in the metadata manually. However, the url you can right-click -> Copy Link Address for that entry in the search results leads to the wrong article, so that would be of little use. (That's actually part of the same problem, since we, and apparently somewhat EBSCO, rely on that link to fetch the RIS). So just import the entry with title only??

    I think it would help me a lot if it just imports the title. For this case I was not needing the article in any case - I was just trying to get everything on my topic in Zotero and then work through it from there. Maybe you can just place a note somewhere with the original URL - to trace back manually at later stage [for those who do use articles with this problem]. I had more problems like these from this service...
