And the ProQuest ABI fix just worked. Wonderful!

Proquest just needs a small fix - if you search in all databases it works, it just doesn't recognize the abicomplete URL - we'll need to think how to best to that, try this:

ProQuest's ABI/INFORM Complete is not listed as a know issue, but it doesn't sense at all (no icons), in either list view or item view. URL is http://search.proquest.com/abicomplete/index?accountid=10

I'm getting a translator error with ProQuest. The URL I'm using is proquest.com/docview/36645624/13214B57A5E66F3947F/2?accountid=13828> but I repeatedly get the error on other items.

Similar situation as the Proquest changes, a couple of years back. The workaround was: Generate a citation, set it up to download to endnote, and zotero picks it up.

For the Proquest translator to work, the proxy will need to be set up correctly in Zotero. I don't think reinstalling Zotero will help you here.

earlier in the chat you asked if "0-" is part of the proxy (http://0-search.proquest.com/...) and the answer is Yes.

zotero doesn't have nyarc listed as a proxy. i tried adding the URL for the proquest connection but it says the scheme syntax is wrong.

Do you have your NYArc proxy set up in the Zotero preferences? Does Zotero note that you're being proxied when you access ProQuest?

actually this is the full URL: http://0-search.proquest.com.arcade.nyarc.org/pqdt/docview/305005189/1316D3A4027FE3D0EB/2?accountid=12526.

Go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/ProQuest.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).

I'm on this - the correct category in Zotero is thesis and you should put "PhD diss." in the type field - that will still give you the location and it won't put the proquest catalogue at the end, but

Choi, Mihwa. “Contesting Imaginaires in Death Rituals during the Northern Song Dynasty.” PhD diss., University of Chicago, 2008. ProQuest (AAT 3300426).

To put my theory to the test, I have tried to retrieve the same record again. And, it works, in the very way Avram intended it to work. I have tested the other IDs mentioned in the thread on ProQuest

No problems with 304408427 here, and a translator shouldn't be able to cause a "disk I/O error" anyway. I'd recommend both checking your disk for errors and checking your Zotero database integrity in…

be or may be not related to problems with the ProQuest translator described in this thread (I only assume emptying Trash with deleted items not properly downloaded might have caused problems). Thank
