would it be possible to have some specific type of error message when crashing against this type of limitations/control by Scholar, ProQuest, etc.?

That's unusual afaik (it's certainly not the case for me) but WoS also doesn't provide full texts. You can't possibly have separate logins for every source of full text PDFs on your campus, i.e. every

Thank you so much, that actually worked for JSTOR! Good to know it's just EBSCOhost that's tricky. Some articles I can only get through there, but many I can get from JSTOR or ProQuest also. I'll try

Note: I am been experiencing this problem several times today with EBSCOhost and with JSTOR, but PDF retrieval still seems to be working with ProQuest for some reason.

Here's the durable URL for that one: http://gateway.proquest.com.prox.lib.ncsu.edu/openurl?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2003&res_id=xri:eebo&rft_id=xri:eebo:citation:5

The exact URL of the site that's not working is: http://gateway.proquest.com.prox.lib.ncsu.edu/openurl?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2003&res_id=xri:eebo&rft_id=xri:eebo:citation:99847279

3. These are RIS exports from ProQuest.

You can check multiple pages of items in ProQuest before exporting.

to capture full text or pdf files of these ProQuest records? Are your "advanced searches" especially sensitive in an attempt to be sure that you capture everything relevant? What portion of the resul

I have been tasked with exporting ALL citations for 25 different advanced searches in Proquest. Each of these searches has tens of thousands of results. Thus far, the only method that seems to work

For large imports from Proquest, you should check the items you want in the search results (using the Proquest check boxes, not the Zotero button), then click the Export button (on the Proquest page)

If it works for individual items after waiting a period of time, you're likely just being rate-limited by ProQuest.

I am attempting to export a large number of citations from Proquest utilizing Zotero. Unfortunately attempts to do so are resulting in the following error message:

EBSCO and ProQuest both do rate limiting, i.e. they have measures in place to prevent rapid multiple downloads, so this would make sense. They may have gotten more stringent recently, as many publishe

Sometimes it will let me save 3 or 4 articles, but others it won't let me save any. My colleague and I are also experiencing similar problems with ProQuest (https://login.proxy.hil.unb.ca/login?url=h

Generally, the publisher site will have somewhat better metadata than ProQuest in my experience, so I would recommend the first option (Merge, then select the second item in the list as the one to kee

I generally populate Zotero by searching in a ProQuest database, going to the full-record, and clicking the Save to Zotero button.

Yep, that is what a sample item imported from ProQuest did.

If you (excuse me if I misunderstood that) mean retrieving metadata from local files - I'm not talking HTML here, but PDF. You can export PQ full texts either in PDF or RTF or TXT - I've tried all opt

But if Proquest does have an html but not a PDF full text, Zotero should try to get that. Do you have an example?
