ATLAS
I'm back with my request for ATLAS.

OVID and EBSCOhost appear to be "for Institutional Subscribers Only"
I am a subscriber through the ATLAS site itself. My institution doesn't have a subscription.
Please, I'm wasting time doing manual entries that Zotero is designed to eliminate and I'm now getting heavy into my dissertation research. Is there a reason a translator can't be developed for this site?
Hoping for help! :)
EDIT: Ooops. Sorry. I meant to add this to this thread

Can you offer any help at getting any willing developers hooked up to a database?
Or perhaps (they say that translators are not too hard) you might be able to pull it off yourself. The tutorials here are very good:

ATLAS, for reference, is an excellent database and online fulltext collection of major religion and theology journals
http://www.atla.com/products/catalogs/catalogs_atlas.html
By the way, is there any indication that your independant ATLAS subscription is using a third party 'platform' to deliver their database. It may be if they are using some standard database web platform, that the whole process of getting a translator to recognize the data will be quite easy indeed.
I really don't know. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to these matters. I'm just a user. :)
I'll take a look at creating a translator. "Not too hard," huh? Does that mean "easy"?
Thanks for seconding my request, and yeah, auto down is very much a part of what I would like Zotero to do.
I downloaded Scaffold and succesfully got through the target and
function detectWeb(doc, url) {
if(doc.title == "ATLAS - Brief Citations") {
return "journalArticle";
}
}
So, I got the icon in the address bar. I was so excited!
I also got the FireFox console fired up.
But I got lost at the Building the Screen scraper logic stage.
How do I know what to put here?
How do I know how the ATLAS page is coded?
This is all I see when I View Page Source

I'd be happy to try and work on this, but it appears that I'll need a little remedial help. The last programming I did was with GW Basic, and that was just stuff I picked up along the way. I've been lost since Visual Basic.
