Upgrade StorageImporting MARC file with the corresponding PDF
HI! I'm using Zotero since five years now, and I have a little library of around 2000 entries and approximatively 600 PDF. But now, in prevision of my master in university, I got a big source of data of 10 000 documents in PDF. All of them are accompagned with their MARC file with all their bibliographic infos. So, my question is : is there a way to import them, all PDF, in my Zotero library, and making a match with the corresponding MARC entries/infos ?
I need Zotero for many reason, and I really want to import them in. Maybe a Python, Bash script or any other script can do this?
The .mrc files and the PDFs don't have the same name.
Ex.:
lettertowilliaml00doug_meta.mrc

You'd need all the files in a single folder and then this should work pretty well with basic scripting.
The MARC translator is at in the translators folder in your Zotero data directory:

I think MODS might be a good sample for you to look at for file import.
That's really the only viable route I can think of.
