Zbib / ZoteroBib not pulling in location + publisher for ISBN book requests

jeffpooley
The excellent ZoteroBib service does not, however, include location and publisher for the isbn requests that I have submitted, at least in the examples I have tested.

    do you have a couple of examples? My guess would be that they're ISBNs where Zotero falls back to Open WorldCat, where they are sometimes missing, but it'd be good to check.

    I think that you are right, as I’ve been trying with a number of others and very often the publisher+location appear. My apologies for the confusion.

    We'd still love the example ISBNs -- I'm not happy about this problem but OCLC has effectively said they won't fix it and there just is not alternative to Open Worldcat in breadth of coverage.

    Yes, here are two that I had tried, both ISBNs:

    * 9780801478949
    * 9780801469602

    Thanks so much.

    Love the service so much—I have been using it relentlessly.
