Problems with WorldCat Discovery translator (Cornell)
Hi: at Cornell, we switched to WOrldCat Discovery for our local catalog last summer, and the Zotero translator no longer works. Our catalog url is https://newcatalog.library.cornell.edu/. I'm assuming that other libraries were forced to make the same change recently and are quite probably having similar issues.
Would it be possible to have the translator updated to allow for basic importing?
Thanks,

Zotero does support WC discovery, but doesn't recognize Cornell as an instance of that -- but the unAPI will get you better data anyway.
Thanks for your reply to Jim. Just so I'm clear, Zotero should be supporting WorldCat (for instance: https://cornell.on.worldcat.org/search?queryString=dog food&fq=&dblist=638&qt=sort&se=nodgr&sd=desc&qt=sort_nodgr_desc#/oclc/48958331) but for some reason isn't identifying the Cornell WorldCat connection in order to pull the citation? Do you know if this is something we need to pursue with OCLC/WorldCat support?
But in the end you're saying that the data coming from our Blacklight Catalog (newcatalog.library.cornell.edu) is better/more complete if we can get unAPI enabled for the results list?
Thanks,
Mary Beth
But yes, the blacklight/unAPI metadata will very likely be better (I also think it's a much nicer catalog...)

It works reliably for me.
