Thanks; what I do as a work around is to export directly to Refworks and from Refworks export as a bibliographic file and import that to Zotero. A bit tedious so I will use EBSCO first. I guess the one question you are reluctant to offer guidance - …

For Dan: is this what you need https://extranet.cranfield.ac.uk/,DanaInfo=proquest.umi.com+pqdweb?index=2&srchmode=2&sid=1&vinst=PROD&fmt=2&startpage=-1&vname=PQD&did=867704171&scaling=FULL&pmid=23942&vty…

Result - I was able to download two seperate references from EBSCO directly from the top browser bar just as promised. Well done! That seems to sort out the problem. I can start to appreciate the magnitude of the task you have making it all work sea…

Thanks for that - not sure why I had a second thread. Most likely a mistake. I found a few references to Juniper proxy and if I understand it, this is something you build into Zotero to support downloading information when the user is accessin…

Yes made that mistake first time around but did quit firefox completely. Tried it on two different computers.Then went back into firefox to make sure the change to "true" remained on the config.

THanks for that. I copied out the instruction on the URL you sent me and then managed to get into the Firefox config and made sure the output was on true. I closed down, openned up the terminal application and then I clicked on new command (hope tha…

Part two - sorry I fail to understand the first instruction: n Firefox, go to about:config in the address bar - I do not see an about:config in Firefox. I think this is a case of the site's instructions assuming a level of expertise that I don't hav…

This will need to be an answer in two parts as the debug routine is new to me. So let me address Adam's comments: 1. I disabled the only other add in (pdf download 2.1.0 and that has not made a difference 2. http://search.ebscohost.com/log…

Dan thanks for your response. I am not sure that if I cut and paste a URL that you can trouble shoot through it. I access EBSCO and ProQuest via a route that goes like this: My university VPN - Athens Authentication - EBSCO. So if I copy and paste i…

I am having a problem with Firefox 3 as well. I try to export from the browser to Zotero a citation from EBSCO and it says known translator error. I am using a new computer (MAC) that never had Firefox 2. Comments on another thread implied that ther…

Thanks - Should I wait for a few weeks for it to be Beta or if I upgrade to 1.5 and it does not work, I have not lost anything? I take it that my library in Zotero will move over to 1.5 when I install it? I guess I just don't want to spend a lot of …

Thanks. I may give that a try. I understand that it is under 1.5 that a plugin for Word for Mac 2008 will be built but as of yet, it is not there. So I might as well wait until the plug in is up. But thanks for the heads up on 1.5 it may be worth a …

I managed to find an answer to my own question through the brandis library guide web site. Apologies. It is pretty straightforward. From within Refworks export as a text file; save to the computer (desktop is easy). From within Zotero, use the wheel…
