Harpweek needed

Would be good to grab citations from Harpweek, which is a great site. I think this requires paid access, but is widely used and very useful to US historians because of the importance of the magazine in the late nineteenth century and the quality of the database. http://app.harpweek.com/SearchSpec.asp

I don't have access. I don't think anyone else who writes translators does, so that'd be relatively difficult to do. I assume there's no export option to any bibliographic software (needn't be zotero) available, is there?

Seems like I do have access. I don't see any metadata export, so it would be just scraping the page. Not much to scrape either: title, date, page range. Here's the source of the page at http://app.harpweek.com/viewarticletext.asp?webhitsfile=hw18780406000019.htm&xpath=/TEI.2[1]/text[1]/body[1]/div1[7]&xml=HW\1878\18780406.xml&titleid=HW&volumeid=1878&issueid=0406&pagerange=0266cd-0266cd&restriction=war+&pageIds=|HW-1878-04-06-0266|

is that through NU or another account? I still have my NU netID and I like working on historical source translators.

I'm on NU network now, so if you can VPN in you should be able to access it. Haven't tried it via library proxy.
