Unfortunately, it is difficult to handle non-standard data (and your non-standard data doesn't even sound like it is uniform). c2bib might help extract bibliographic information (depending how "hidden" it really is). Other than that, it sounds lik…

I believe (but have no way of confirming) that ReferenceManager can export an RIS file, which Zotero can import. Alternatively, look for BibTex or Endnot/Refer/BibIX export which it MIGHT have. Zotero also supports MODS, MARC, and RDF import, but …

A license discussion is a reasonable topic (although the final decision should rest with the developers and their sponsors). What isn't reasonable are the (disinformational) insults that you lobbied first at Zotero and its developers because yo…

Aaron, You're both abrasive and mistaken. I donate my time and my money to free/open source projects. Of the 31 projects I've made financial contributions to since I started to keep track, 20 are under the GPL. Nearly all of the software…

The software comparison sounded like a good idea for a WP page:

It is nontrivial to parse traditional bibliographies, even if they are stylized (unless they have embedded metadata). The styling does not usually provide a 1:1 mapping to individual bibliographic fields. You might contact the creator of the o…

The authors of GPL and some other licenses are concerned about tivoisation because they want an effective copylefting, that will make all derivatives free. Many other free/open source licenses (BSD/MIT/similar licenses) don't care (and some ac…

Aaron, Not even the FSF believes that GPL-compatibility is the sole mark of a libre-free software license & they list many licenses which are free but not compatible with the GPL. They haven't listed whether they think the ECL is GPL compa…

The developers have made no secret of the license. They've talked about it in these forums, included it with the source, etc. See:

There are scrips to convert from medline to bibtex. You might see if they're better for your needs. If you have or can get the medline xml format, bibutils is an excellent set of programs that can convert to MODS XML (which Zotero can import) …

@Peter R. Murray, libcat.uchicago uses Dynix, which is already supported by Zotero (and the U Chicago catalog works for me) @edb15: IRIS uses SIRSI, which is also already supported by Zotero & your catalog works fine for me too)

Zotero should work fine on Firefox 2 on the Mac & doesn't need a special version. If you confirm that Zotero is installed and follow: http://www.zotero.org/documentation/reporting_bugs It may be easier to track down what is wrong.

There are plans to develop a central server-side version of Zotero. You could already export an HTML bibliography from Zotero. You could also write your own code to use the same database structure Zotero has. I wouldn't suggest using the original…

You're missing something. Clicking the icon in the address book will ALWAYS create a new item. There isn't yet functionality to enrich bibliographic data for a single entity by polling multiple sources (in your case, user-entered & amazon). I…

You have several occurrences of 'rtf', but it should be 'rft' This works:

Note that sharing a profile may have privacy concerns, as it shares the cache/browsing history/saved passwords too. You can start firefox with the '-p' switch to specify a profile, which could be shared. Until Zotero allows you to specify your pr…

I don't think conference name/location is in the OpenURL spec & a quick grep through the Zotero code doesn't seem to show any automatic way to find it.
-
Your example isn't working because you have info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal, rather than info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:book. Fix this, and Zotero should correctly type the resource. I don't think the OpenURL spec specifies genre/fmt mappings. So, I s…
-
I believe both OpenURL and Zotero support the proceeding genre. The current version of Zotero checks first to see if the format is a book: info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:book Then it looks to see if the genre is a conference or proceeding. If i…

Do you have a PDF viewer plugin for Firefox (e.g. do ALL PDFs open in an Acrobat window)? When you view the snapshot PDF, Zotero just passes the file's URL to Firefox.

Select a book in the middle pane. In the right pane, select "attachments" & click add. Choose one of the options. Amazon has a lot of cover art. If they have an image for the book you want, go to the book page, click "see larger image." …

Zotero is already able to store DOIs for articles & is able to pass them to OpenURL resolvers. Do you have other things that you wish it could do with DOIs?

You can select multiple items (ctrl or shift click) and can export only the selected items (it is a right click option). Further, you can use the date you added or modified the record as a sort criteria.

Report generation from collection is broken in beta 3, but will be fixed in the next release. A work around for those not yet using a version that has been fixed is to select all records in a collection (Ctrl-A in the middle pane) & to export t…

RDF isn't necessarily meant to be imported into Word. It is the "Resource Description Framework" & is contrasted by MS's RTF (Rich Text Format), which might be causing your confusion. If you'd like to work with your bibliography + notes in…

A "creator" is an author/contributor/translator/editor/whatever. I think that it would be reasonable if these creators could be placed in one column separated by semicolons -- these are rarely found in a person's name & are often used to se…

Peter, Bruce contacted a few people interested in bibliographic software development before he posted that entry. I believe that the Zotero devs will talk with us & hopefully act on some specific suggestions we have, or at least say that they …
