Upgrade StorageWhat's the best way to clean up imported library?
I'm new to zotero and had been working in Word without a source manager, but have seen the light and getting up to speed on Z.
I managed to export my sources from Word to a .bib file using WizFolio and successfully imported them into Z. In the process, WizFolio added the ISSN to some of my sources, which is great, but it also slightly mangled some. So, I need to clean up the mangles. I also was missing some fields in my original Word bibliography (e.g., publisher's city) that I'd like to fix.
Please forgive the newbie question, but what's the best way to go about cleaning up my library? E.g., is there a feature in Z that will automatically compare a source against a database? Unfortunately, I'm not affiliated with an institution, so don't have access to my own db sources.

There was some discussion about adding the feature you describe [1], but nobody works on it as far as I know.
