translator request

Zelothes · May 12, 2017

I am new to Zotero and not sure wether this is the right place to place a request: I was missing translators for the following databases:

Austrian National Library ; onb.ac.at ; http://search.obvsg.at/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?vid=ONB&con_lng=de_DE&reset_config=true&backFromPreferences=true
when creating an entry, PDFs are not recognized.

Academia https://www.academia.edu/ This website hosts PDFs of researchers but when I try to create entries with Zotero, all bibliograpical data ends up in the title field.

Thanks in advance, Z.

I don't think we'd add PDFs from a library catalog -- but so we can take a look, could you copy the Zitierlink of an item with a PDF?

For Academia.edu -- if I recall correctly, they have some basic metadata when you're not logged in (I'm guessing for the google bot) but not when you're logged in. We've tried contacting them about this years ago but -- presumably because they care about making money and not about advancing scholarship -- they have never bothered to fix this. (Don't use academia.edu: https://www.forbes.com/sites/drsarahbond/2017/01/23/dear-scholars-delete-your-account-at-academia-edu/#7ffea5d02d62 )

Thanks for the advice on academia,edu, I'll consider it.

As for the Austrian Natioanl Library and PDFs, here is one link which should be connected to several PDFs: http://data.onb.ac.at/rec/AC11743539

Sorry, only the first link "Inhaltsverzeichnis" http://media.obvsg.at/p-AC11743539-1003 is linked to a PDF.

yeah that catalog entry is only connected to PDFs via the Volltext resolver -- there aren't actually any PDFs attached in the catalog proper.
Given that the link typically doesn't go straight to the PDF but to a landing page -- in this case the ULB Tirol -- there's no way we could attach PDF automatically, sorry.

We could probably add support for the ULB digital catalog, though:
http://diglib.uibk.ac.at/ulbtiroloa/content/titleinfo/268507
@zuphilip you don't happen to recognize the catalog, do you?

Zelothes · May 12, 2017

OK, that would help.

adamsmith · May 12, 2017

oh the Inhaltsverzeichnis -- yeah, I don't think we'll want to add PDFs of the Table of Content. That frankly seems like clutter to me. Where we can, we do import the ToC into a note, though.

On the bottom right it states "Visual Library Server 2017". We have a translator for "semantics Visual Library", but this does not work directly here.
