Getting references into Zotero from online databases (with PDFs)

dstillman · September 3, 2020

But if those are really the URLs you're seeing now, that looks like some odd proxy setup — possibly unique to your institution? — that may not work with Zotero. (I'm a bit confused, though, because those look like proxied Ebsco login URLs, not even proxied page/PDF URLs.)

I'm still having this problem. Sorry, I need to stick with troubleshooting long enough to fix it!

Here's a Debug ID D1752717406

I found a reference that doesn't work. Here's the link from the EBSCO (PsycInfo) results page, which clearly shows that the ref has a PDF attached.

Here's when I click into the reference and it brings up the PDF inside EBSCO.

There are other examples of ones that don't work but maybe start with these.

Can someone take a look at this? Thanks.
