@DWL-SDCA Thanks for this explanation. I've now spent some time with SafetyLit and it looks like it would work very well for my application. But obviously, if I am serious about this, my first goal should be getting my 13K ProCite records into Zoter…

Thanks to both Davids. I feel I need to point out that I am a complete newcomer to Zotero and don't really understand most of the technical details about Kerto. I'm a retired map curator and cut my teeth typing 3x5 catalog cards. I do love ProCite …

Very exciting, thank you. In your documentation you say it's best to "limit the number of distinct facet values under a few hundreds." I'm not sure I understand your use of the word "facet" here. Do you mean keywords, assigned "subject headings" or …

I've just discovered this thread David and am very excited and interested. I have a bibliography that I would love to make available on the web. It now has about 10K entries and is currently in ProCite, but could easily be migrated to Zotero. The bi…

If you go to the catalog of the University of Chicago Library and do a search for Title:London Format: Maps, here are the initial (brief) records for the first five items. All have the physical description field, but none shows scale. (Though a more…

Well, I would strongly urge that dimensions be added to the Zotero maps format. Frankly I'm amazed that this hasn't emerged as a major problem before now. I guess not many map folks use Zotero?

Thanks, Adam, the import translator was very helpful. And yes, U1 is "Scale" in Zotero. But I really have to say that the Map format needs at least the option of recording size. I was a map cataloger for 40 years and all the standards required a "ph…

Related question: I WILL have entries for maps to migrate to Zotero, and using RefWorks tag "RT Map" gets them into Zotero with the "Item type = Map" and its related fields. There IS a field for "Map Scale" but I have no idea what the RF tag for th…

Once again "Adamsmith", thanks for solving my problem. That worked perfectly. I'm actually not using RefWorks at all. I'm trying to export large numbers of ProCite records into Zotero and it seems the easiest way to do this is to prefix the ProCite …

OK, here's one small file. https://www.dropbox.com/t/ZGbSPmjoJFVoO0AT
