Oesterreichischer Bibliothekenverbund

On http://meteor.bibvb.ac.at, Zotero translator "Osterreichischer Bibliothekenverbund" (Created by Michael Berkowitz, ID: e1140aa1-3bcf-4226-9099-78ef0b63bb3e) is not properly recognized. By passing over the blue book icon it tries to launch "Library Catalog (Aleph)". Clicking on the book ends with an "Could Not Save Item" error.

I'm running last Version of FF (3.0.11) on Ubuntu Jaunty and Zotero 1.0.10
  • The "Oesterreichischer Bibliotheksverbund" (Austrian Union Catalogue) does not provide a MAB2-tagged format (parameter ..&format=001) which is needed by the translator in order to parse data. I've contacted them in the past regarding this point, but they are reluctant to provide this standard Aleph output format because apparently they fear abuse. Maybe it helps, if more users complain about it?
  • The workaround using RIS export
    (Funktionen für markiert Treffer -->Download --> Format=RIS Fortmat )
    works more or less. But Leon is right, go ahead and complain.
