Melvyl catalog/UC system

amanda_ucsc

Zotero is fantastic--it works very well with the UCSC system! However, the site translator doesn't seem to work w/ the UC-wide Melvyl catalog, which is kind of an issue since I get most of my books from ILL... See: http://melvyl.cdlib.org/F/?func=file&file_name=find-b&local_base=cdl90
Keep up the good work!

It is 1/1/2008 and I still have the problem with Melvyl. Anything we users can do to help you in your wonderful efforts to get this resolved. The UC system libraries are just too exceptional not to be used with Zotero.

What's the problem you're having? We have a Melvyl translator, and the above URL works fine for me.

I had this problem awhile ago and I was advised with the following directions:

"Under Zotero preferences' Advanced tab, click the "Rebuild Translators Table" button. If you're running a dev build the button may be labeled "Reset Translators and Styles...""

It worked like a charm for my Melvyl issue.

You'll need to provide an example URL (and possibly the search term/reference if it's not a static URL).

These issues are specific to the site translator being used, so it's better to report errors from different sites in separate threads.
