Import failure from Library of Congress

Zotero failed to retrieve the book "Destins et enjeux du XVIIe siècle" from the LOC catalogue. I suspect, though I am not certain, that it is because the author is listed as "Yves-Marie Bercé...[et al.]", which might be confusing Zotero. (Contrary to a previous poster, some special characters import from the LOC with no problem, so I don't think that is the issue.)

This case is particularly important to me because I wanted to know how to deal with the "et al." part in Zotero. I don't even know the names of the other authors, and obviously the LOC doesn't store them, either, but I need to retain the "et al." in the bibliography.

Sincerely,
Derek
  • Derek,

    Bad news: we have no good way to store the "et al." Your best bet would be to find out who the other authors are.

    Good news: "et al" has nothing to do with the import failure. We have just updated our MARC translator to handle accented characters better. The new translator will be available to you within 24 hours.
