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

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/ProQuest 2.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).

I am using the latest versions of both zotero and firefox (which include 2 proquest translators: legacy and 2, though I also added the most recent version of the one linked above, to no avail). None o

I'll try to get back to working on this when my institution moves to the new version of ProQuest. In the meantime, angwe's solution may be the best one. Sorry for the hassle.

Hey, just a heads-up for anyone still looking for ProQuest solutions. I'm reading newspaper articles and if I have the actual article view pulled up, Zotero doesn't see any biblio information to grab.

I have the latest version downloaded, but the journal articles in ProQuest do not have the zotero icon. The only way I have figured out how to get the info in is manually...:(

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

For the last 2 days, when I download a citation with PDF attachment from Proquest, the PDf is not appearing in the Child link. Instead, I just see "Formatted Document: Proquest" which is basically a
