Importing not working for ProQuest MLA International Database

birish · August 14, 2016

The MLA database used to import correctly, but when I now try to import, it will only record the webpage for the database item, rather than the actual item itself. Is there any way to resolve this?

could we get at least one proquest permalink for an item that doesn't import correctly, together with the URL exactly as you see it?

I'm having this same problem. I looked up a book chapter in MLA and the Zotero import would only register it as a web page. If I go to the MLA page for the whole book Zotero recognizes it as a book, but the book chapter doesn't register correctly.

Here's the permalink for the book chapter: https://search.proquest.com/docview/1270623469?accountid=12924
Here's how I see the URL in my search: http://search.proquest.com/mlaib/docview/1270623469/F5A9CDF2F9FA464BPQ/1?accountid=12924

Thanks!

thanks, I can replicate that will look towards a fix (note that usin Save --> RIS actually works quite nicely for Zotero).
