Zotero connector for Chrome and the new EBSCO Discovery Service interface
Our institution has recently moved to the new EBSCO Discovery Service interface. We have found that the Zotero web plugin for Google Chrome is unable to scrape results from the interface. When you go to the Zotero connector in Chrome now all you get is the gray webpage icon (save webpage with snapshot).
With the old interface you could scrape from the search results page (it didn't work from the saved folder) The changes to the interface appear to have broken Zotero's ability to recognize and save the metadata for individual records. It would be great to raise this with EBSCO.
You can scrape from the results page using Firefox and Edge. I haven't had a chance to test Safari since Zotero 6 went live
Is there anything that can be done about this?
On a related note, it would be helpful to add some further detail here about EBSCO products.

1. Zotero connector works from the search results page with the EBSCOhost interface but not from the saved folder
2. Zotero connector for Chrome doesn't work with the new EBSCO Discovery Service interface
