CCFR / Catalogue collectif de France

lwaycott
I'm doing a large research project using the CCFR (Catalogue collectif de France). Zotero does not recognize the catalogue entries. Zotero does work well with the BNF catalogue, but the CCFR contains much more material and is particularly useful for my current project. Any chance that a translator could be created (or has already been created) for this site?

    not easily. These all-javascript pages are a nightmare. We can take a look, but I wouldn't be super-optimistic. Sudoc is not an option?

    might be more doable than I thought. For people who'd like to try or for me as note-to-self later:
    The recordId is in the javascript onclick of the search results and in
    //input[@type="hidden" and @id="memRecordId"]/@value
    in item _frames_

    With this, a stripped down version of MARC (or MAB2?) is available via
    http://ccfr.bnf.fr/portailccfr/jsp/ccfr/view/oai/oai_lect_lyon_pro.jsp?recordId=<recordId>;

    Thanks for looking into it. I'll get started on Sudoc and fill in later from CCFR. I'm working on a comprehensive bibliography (encompassing hundreds of titles) so I wanted to start from CCFR since it has a more complete catalogue.

    @adamsmith thanks for the link but CCFr is a federated search engine, and I think this link only allows retreving of records from Lyon library.

    I found this link which seems more generic :
    http://ccfr.bnf.fr/portailccfr/servlet/ViewManager?menu=menu_view_grappage&record=oai_montpellier_bm%3AOAI_MONTPELLIER_BM%3A1546686

    It works for example with this kind of id, not from Lyon : z3950_sudoc:SUDOC:rset-RS114|show 102

    But datas are less structured (and all this javascript doesn't motivate me to start developping a translator ...)

    @all I've started to watch and I think I should do something for a translator, I'll let you know as soon as I've done anything.
  • adamsmith
    great - if you run into problems, take the discussion over to zotero-dev and we can look at this together.
  • symac
    I did some work on this case, there's now a working version of the translator, available as a pull request on github : https://github.com/zotero/translators/pull/758

    We just need that someone from the team validates it. Otherwise lwaycott you can download the raw file of the translator ( https://raw.githubusercontent.com/symac/translators/CCFR/CCfr%20%28BnF%29.js ) and copy it to your translator directory (locate it from Preferences > Advanced > Files and directories, then under the translators directory).

    Let me know if you find bugs (I know there are still), send titles that are not well imported.

    CCFr is not the easiest way to parse ...

    @lwaycott it took some time, but the CCFr translator has been integrated into Zotero yesterday, it should be autoupdated in some hours if it hasn't been yet.

    @adamsmith @symac Hi, i 'm the project manager in charge of the CCFr which is based on the FLORA package (developed by EVERTEAM). We recently push online a new technical version and your translator isn't working anymore, probably because of the url's changes.

    Is it possible for you to update zotero so that it works again? We would be very grateful. Thanks.
