Books coming through as Documents
I am finding that some of our resources from our catalog are being imported (via translator) into Zotero as documents rather than what they are. This appears to be happening mostly to print books (ebooks are coming through fine).
Our discovery layer is Ex Libris Primo. My Zotero instance(s) and translators are up to date.
I have tried other institutions with Primo and can import a similar title correctly. Any ideas?

My test search was for "heart of darkness" (sans quotes). Use the scope for "Reed Only".
That search will provide you with two ebooks and two print books in the first four results.
I performed the same search in Chrome + Z standalone and in FF. In both instances, print books become documents and ebooks are books. This is clicking on the folder icon.
When you go to the record level:
http://catalog.library.reed.edu/REED:CP71114512530001451
You will see the icon become a book, but importing it via the translator still renders a document.
It is possible to export as RIS file and all metadata and the correct resource type comes through.
