  • Hi Eric, I had no trouble grabbing a reference from your linked page. Can you see if this is happening on any other machines?

  • I have 3 different libraries that i run through the 3 different Firefox 2 based browsers. By running Netscape Navigator 9 and Flock you can actually have multiple libraries open at the same time each tweaked out with the addons that supplement the p…

  • I think there might be several ways to access the RILM Abstracts of Music database. I just pulled things in to Zotero from RILM through OVID without a hitch, you might check to see if you can access the database through them.

  • You can change the sort order of your collections by adding numbers to the front. So for example if you change your "Zeppelin" collection to "01 Zeppelin" it would move to the top of the list.

  • You can drag and drop references into any text field. To change the export formats for this take a look at the export section of the preferences pane. Does that cover your uses?

  • If you type about:config into Firefox's location bar and hit enter you should see a comprehensive list of preferences. Then paste extensions.zotero.export.bibliographyLocale in the filter box and it should pull up only that specific preference. …

  • The Word and Open Office Plugins are used to add citations, references and bibliographies to documents, not to add your notes. If you try to insert a note as a citation Zotero will do its best to create a citation out of that note, which is not wha…

  • bradco: You might also try using Google Docs, then you use Zotero and your document in the same window. With Google Docs you can then also just drag and drop your references in. See Google Docs Screencast.

  • The best way to migrate your information is probably to copy your Zotero folder from the Firefox profile of your Windows system over to the Firefox profile on your Linux system. To find both Firefox Profiles see FAQ and Mozila's info on locating yo…

  • Annotation is a part of every copy of Zotero. Note: Zotero does not allow you to annotate live pages, you annotate archived copies of those pages. See http://www.zotero.org/documentation/annotation_screencast To see how to archive a page check s…

  • Could you clarify. Do you want to import pdf files from your computer into Zotero? If this is the case you can drag them into Zotero. This will add the files to your collection but they will not have any associated metadata.

  • What online repository are you using and could you provide a link for the page you had issues with? You might try bringing them in one at a time to see if that resolves the issue.

  • We have ideas about how to do this, and there is a open ticket. But I can't say how long it will be before we are able to ingest PDF's from Endnote. https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/761
    in Importing PDF files from endnote Comment by Tjowens December 7, 2007
  • Did you take a look at the file Endnote generated for you? My first guess is that that is where the names were changed, and quite possibly the Umlautes... Did you export the file in RIS? If so you might try exporting it as BibTex, that could potenti…

  • Was there a folder called "Imported" with the time stamp of when you imported the collection? All of your imported collections and subcollections should be in that "imported" collection. You can drag and drop them out of there as you see appropriate.
    in Export -> Import Problem Comment by Tjowens November 30, 2007
  • I assure you, the issue is more about the ambiguity of many interchange formats than with issues on our end. RIS, among other issues, does not make good distinctions between authors and editors. A similar issue happens with MARC records. If you hav…
