Updating entries automatically from the library of my choice

wgw · March 23, 2019

I have a number of zotero entries which are incomplete. Some are only ISBN numbers. Can I ask Zotero to automatically go to my library (not Worldcat or other source), and check and update the data for those entries (or a specific zotero library) ? I want it from my library because then I know if the book is available locally.

Perhaps with some javascript? (I'm looking for a push-button solution)

I can of course easily update one by one those entries, but that would be slow!

Not currently, no. It's generally planned, but currently the only way to do this is to import via the ISBN and then merge the two items.

Thanks! I suppose this might be achieved with some roll your own javascript...(but not for tout de suite).
