  • ameteorite: the first issue is a 'known problem' with this release of the MS Word macro. (from the MS_Word_integration download and instruction page: [Note that Beta 3 contains a bug that causes citations to be formatted incorrectly, with parenthes…

  • Thanks. I like the idea of first post as well, for some future release. It promotes workflow models of dealing with references, which would be a nice help.
    in Is there a way to know if a library item is also in another folder? Comment by scot March 26, 2007
  • Another vote for wiki-like semantic markup! (along with a vote for either some kind of two-tab wysiwyg/markup interface for getting it in.) I couldn't bear to keep my notes in a purely presentational system. I want to know that if I ever need to …

  • @bdarcus: Absolutely, citation formatting should be automated, so that switching from different styles is made as easy as possible, if not completely trivial. Period. I don't want to take that away, and I an see that if you want to switch forma…

  • No, I don't think in the main you are 'doing anything wrong.' I also have not been able to get the Chicago style working as I would like, (notes, with first citations long, following ones brief, and the ability to include bibliography at the end) o…

    in Documentation request: Coaxing your favorite database towards helpfulness. Comment by scot March 19, 2007
  • Wow, it's quite nice to see action all around. Copac adding COinS, you featuring their page. I hope that other database admins turn out to be half this eager a the idea to make their pages readable by zotero and whatever other next-gen bibliograph…

  • I can use ATLA through EBSCOhost with somewhat better success. For a book section: title, author, publication title, date and page range are scraped correctly. Zotero's 'Publisher' field gets the whole line including "City : Publisher, Date" (whe…

  • I'll be using the SBL Manual of Style, a variation on Chicago promoted by the Society of Biblical Literature.
    in What other citation formats would you like Zotero to generate? Comment by scot March 15, 2007
  • Note to those who don't know Copac: it's a meta-index of 27 UK research libraries (31 million records in total), including both Oxford and Cambridge. It's good to import book records from, since it's so large, which prevents you from having to visi…
