Metadata retrieval, one consistent bug

Atoc
For most books for which I used Zotero to automatically retrieve meta-data, in case of more than one author only first one author was retrieved/showed in authors list.
For myself this is not serious problem, however my lecturer was not happy to see this in my essay :) .

    Can you provide an example?

    Dan - that's actually a known bug with the worldcat translator - should be fixed at some point.

    is an example, but this is a universal bug.

    Atoc - thanks for reporting - nor further examples needed.

    The problem is that WorldCat does not carry additional author information in their COinS, which is what Zotero grabs. I reported this to them quite sometime ago. If they don't fix it on their end, I guess that Zotero will have to get scrape the metadata from something other than the COinS element.

    I really appreciate all your job you put into Zotero. Thank you.
