Doesn't well well for North Carolina Central University Online Catalog

Can't automatically capture lists of bibliographic information from the above NCCU Online Catalog.

Yes, it looks like the translator for that site doesn't support search results. It could be extended, for sure. Your best bet is either a programmer close to you, or the North Carolina Central University themselves; their IT department may have an interest robust Zotero support. They seem to have a helpdesk link here: http://www.nccu.edu/facultyandstaff/its/helpdesk.cfm

Frank - but what about?

var xpath = '//td[@class="searchsum"]/table';
if(doc.evaluate(xpath, doc, nsResolver, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null).iterateNext()) {
Zotero.debug("SIRSI detectWeb: searchsum");
return "multiple";
}
var xpath = '//form[@name="hitlist"]/table/tbody/tr';
if(doc.evaluate(xpath, doc, nsResolver, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null).iterateNext()) {
Zotero.debug("SIRSI detectWeb: hitlist");
return "multiple";
}

those should work for search results, no? I didn't look closely, but by adjusting the xpath slightly I can get the folder icon to show up, even though the search fails.
Point being: fixing this might be pretty quick if someone from UNC or another SIRSI institution takes heart...

Is anyone working on fixing the SIRSI translator? I mentioned in a posting that our library catalog is not working properly with zotero either. thanks.
