"Could not Save Item" in CSA Illumina
Hi, I get the error message "could not save item" when I'm using CSA Illumina to access databases (in this case, the MLA International Bibliography).
Help?
Help?
A fix would be really good, but even a workaround for downloading or saving the records some other way and re-importing them would be helpful too.
That's a list of search results that will save on my computer (PC) but not on my colleague's computer (Mac running Windows). The problem exists for any individual items or lists of items in the ERIC database offered through CSA.

I've been very enthused about Zotero, but it does not appear very reliable right now.
I really like Zotero...when it works...but - if it can't work consistently with our bread-and-butter databases, I can't really recommend it to others at my institution.
Am I (and possibly johnlurz) the only people with this problem? And if so, what are we doing wrong that everyone else seems to be doing right?
Ovid ticket created.
http://ovidsp.tx.ovid.com/spb/ovidweb.cgi is the URL I'm working with.

Is this kind of inconsistency typical of EZProxy problems, or do you suspect something different?
Neither is working. This is the URL for the Psych that did not work:

Here’s the URL for bad ERIC:

I doubt that URL will work for you, but it isn't hard to replicate. I just picked a citation
at random out of Sociological Abstracts (a CSA Illumina product), and tried Zotero. It results in "can't save item" every time.
