MicroIsis Winisis Latinamerican libraries
Most library databases in Latin America use a software that the UNESCO delivers "free" to the Thirld World, called MicroIsis, and its windows offspring Winisis. It's a nightmare of a program, but anyway, that's all there is, you can't look a gift horse in the mouth.
For historians working on latin american subjects it would be useful if zotero could recognize those databases. As an example I cite the National Library of Brazil

and the National Academy of History of Argentina:

I see this has elicited no response...
We would love to support ISIS -- especially since we're about to add Spanish and Portuguese interfaces -- but in the interest of serving your needs sooner rather than later, I thought it best to point you in the right direction in case you either had the skills, inclination, or even technically-minded friends to begin work on a translator.
To use Zotero with an ISIS System it should be simple to include metadata, for example COinS, RDF or MODS. Unfortunately most ISIS-Database are unique and their formats needs to be coded separately.
What you can do is to talk with your librarian (or write a formal letter to the library) and demand the inclusion of Zotero usable Metadata on their OPAC. I donĀ“t know many librarians who knows about Zotero and many of them depends upon users to let them know which technological features are really important.
