Upgrade StorageVirginia Historical Society catalog items not recognized
Zotero does not seem to be recognizing records in the Virginia Historical Society catalog. The records don't seem to have stable urls (perhaps part of the problem?), but are in a fairly standard bibliographic format (see example pasted below). The catalog can be accessed from http://vhs3.vahistorical.org/star/x.starmarc.html , and the system on which it runs seems to be named STAR (I'm seeing starweb, starmarc, etc. in various places). My versions of both zotero and Firefox are up to date, and working correctly with other catalogs (mostly Voyager-based) and sites (e.g. Amazon), so I think the problem is with the VHS system, which I have not tried using with Zotero before.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

If you get in touch with Cuadra or the Historical Society, you can suggest they look into using COinS or unAPI to expose their metadata to Zotero (as well as Mendeley and Google Scholar to a certain degree). You can point them to http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/exposing_metadata and the developer mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/zotero-dev
