Thanks for your help on this! A couple of issues. It looks like I cannot use the URL field at all (I assume it requires a particular syntax), at least for the kind of data I would like to include. Would it therefore be possible to have the data …

This is just an addition that I would like to use personally, so certainly not a requirement for the journal. I understand that I should be able to tweak that style and save it in such a way that I can access the tweaked version.

Everything seems to be fixed. I had to go through and resolve conflicts for about 20 items, which seemed quite random, as they were citations I hadn't added or modified recently, but all seems fine now. Thanks!

I very much appreciate the time and patience you have shown in dealing with my questions and comments here. Zotero should capture as much data as possible, period. If I've implied otherwise then I apologize. Zotero should provide output s…

Fair enough. I'll invest the time to work up the style myself and post it. Out of curiosity, however, why *not* give users the ability to customize bibliographic exports in an ad-hoc manner? I can imagine a dialogue box that has a list of the f…

Ah, the joys of being a classicist, ever trapped in the distant, out-of-print past. OK, let's start over, and pretend the previous 22 entries never happened. ;-) Dear adamsmith, Would you be so kind as to make a new Output Format, nam…

I'm not by nature a betting person, but I would happily lay down a quarter that says the CMoS 14/15 guidelines you cite are deviant with respect to publisher's requirements in the humanities. CMoS may *suggest* that articles be cited with DOI, but m…

@Dan I guess I'm not being clear in my attempts to make a distinction between online sources and print sources that happen to also be online. With respect to the former we have no disagreement. For example, should I wish to cite something…

OK! At least I know what I have to do in the near term. Thanks for your help and patience. Best, Rob

OK, so is there a way to globally edit a selection of Zotero records such that I can delete every piece of data in the DOI and URL fields? This is a blunt way of fixing this problem, but at least I know it will be fixed for the long term.

@Simon Ah, but in neither case are these sources *consulted online.* JSTOR is an online repository of (for the most part) print materials. Records for books secured online are done simply in order to save time. I am not citing the *o…

I think my frustration boils down to this: folks are going to retrieve data from a wide range of sources, some clean, some dirty. What makes Zotero, and other systems like this, so useful is the ability to refine that data, organize it in various wa…

Thanks for pointing me to the editing option. I think scripting a CMoS variant will be *much* more efficient than cleaning up these fields, at least for the sort of sources I deal with. I understand the need to clean up entries (easier sa…

I think it came from the Wellesley College Library catalog, but I'm not sure. I have other data in the URL fields for other books which I had ported over from EndNote, so this is by no means limited to the Storey, nor to records retrieved from …
-
Ah, this is what I figured would work, but figured I'd better check first. Thanks for all the helpful (and fast!) replies.

Ah, I think the problem is that my old institution had access to the ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database, whereas my current one does not... If ProQuest is the only sources for this info then I am out of luck (unless I can figure out a work-a…

Thanks Adam. I've been able to find dissertation records in the OCLC WorldCat database, and there is even a tempting little "export record" dialog box, but the resulting file isn't recognized by Zotero. If OCLC has all the resulting info,…
