Sirsi and RIBA library catalogue

I am attempting to use Zotero to download results from the UK RIBA catalogue

http://riba.sirsidynix.net.uk/uhtbin/cgisirsi/?ps=k3HynTBABa/MAIN_CAT/289940014/38/1/X/BLASTOFF

It works to some extent and correctly picks titles. However all of the most useful information (Date, journal etc) ends up in an "Authors statement" element that appears as a separate part of the main entry in Zotero.

I cannot immediately see how to get this to populate the fields in the main entry and thus follow through into other documents.

When I make a bibliography from one of these entries I do get most of the information but again most significantly not the date.

Am I missing something in how I have Zotero set up or is this a problem with the RIBA data having been prepared in a particular form. Would some amendments to the translator help?

Thanks for any help

Regards

Paul
  • Yeah, the SIRSI translator would have to be adjusted for that.

    Library catalogs are not actually designed very well for displaying journal articles, which is why this isn't working well. I can take a look but it won't happen very soon.

    (@aurimas or zuphilip if you're looking at this, any search like "test" will get you to relevant search results with journal articles).
