UW-Madison library catalog no longer allowing direct import

phdeviant

My university library recently upgraded their online catalog and books are no longer displaying the little book icon in the URL bar that I used to use to import books into Zotero.

Here is an example:
https://search.library.wisc.edu/catalog/999700304702121

Is this something to be fixed on Zotero's end or here? If here, what information can I send to the library to help them set this up correctly?

I've talked to the catalog team at UW, they have this on their menu, but not going to happen any time soon, so we'll look at adding support for that discovery layer system (Ex Libris Alma), but it may take a while.

Given that UW actively promotes Zotero, I wish they'd given us a heads up during testing.

Actually, Alma is the cataloguing system from them and the discovery system is called blacklight (an open source Software: http://projectblacklight.org/ ). I guess that a lot of other institutions will change to Alma in combination with Primo. (I will open a ticket for blacklight.)

thanks for catching that.
