As for the errors you see - have you tried that on different pages? And none of them work? Right after triggering the error from the citation/abstract page, can you create an error report - to speed

Did you try with the version I link to or with ajlyon's? If you tried with ajlyons - retry with mine. If you tried with mine, make sure that the file is in fact proquest.js and not proquest.js.txt -

I went into my directory and inserted the new translator file; then I tried to export from Proquest and got the same error. I even went so far as to delete the other "old" Proquest translators; still

Please 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).

OK that should be an easy fix, the translator works already, it just doesn't recognize the page as a proquest document. I'll wait for ajlyon to fix this, he knows the translator better.

The way to go would likely be to get the translator to work - in general it should on proquest. Do you have a sample URL?

I'm a longtime Zotero user, but this is the first time I've come to the forums. This week, I ran into a problem when I attempted to import newspaper records from Proquest into Zotero. In the past, whe

So, is this solution working for everyone? I followed the directions in post 50 above and still can't get the 'save' icons (document, or folder) to appear in my browser when I'm in proquest dissertati

I think Worldcat does catalogue all Proquest dissertations. Two thougths:

I don't know of any reliable and comprehensive databases for US dissertations that you could use to replace ProQuest/UMI, and those that you'd find may not have the UMI numbers.

Ah, I think the problem is that my old institution had access to the ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database, whereas my current one does not... If ProQuest is the only sources for this info then I

Search for each number in the ProQuest dissertation database and click the thesis button in the address bar to save it to Zotero. If this doesn't work for a dissertation, post the URL or accession num

Zotero does work with some Proquest databases, so you could try to get the data from there - that would avoid you the trouble of inserting data by hand, though you'll probably still have to go one by

to import the bibliographic info, etc. that ProQuest presumably has stored into Zotero by using this number?

Thank you Kduncan85. Can you give me the new file for ProQuest? I would like to do some tests.

I added the new file for ProQuest into the translators directory but I am still having problems with certain types of citations.

My institution is going to move to to the new Proquest interface. I have added manually the translator recommanded by agilyon to the translators directory to my Zotero. It works to capture a referenc

Yes, definitely. I've probably exported 100 records directly from ProQuest into Zotero in the past few weeks, although I notice that 2.1.8 is new as of Monday, and I last used zotero Monday morning. T
