You will be able to save your item with all of the important data and information quickly and easily. In the meantime, a helpful workaround is to go to, a catalog of library materials worldwide, and locate your book, etc. The UW team is aware of the problem, but it may take some time to fix it as there are so many other changes to work through at this time. It will simply try to save them item as a webpage…which leaves a lot of useful information behind. I sign the rdf file with McCoy ( link) and new versions are hosted by GitHub. At some point, I moved to a self-hosted zotfile-update.rdf.
Zotfile used to be listed as a Firefox add-on managed on the platform managed by Mozilla.
UPDATE ZOTERO UPDATE
from the UW library catalog, Zotero currently cannot detect all of the information about the item and so doesn’t know that it is saving information for a book or journal. Over time, I basically went through two different update processes. Translator update checks and error reports can both be disabled from the Zotero preferences.
This lets us quickly diagnose and fix problems and ensure continued functionality for users. Zotero also sends an error report if a site translator fails to save from a web page.
UPDATE ZOTERO SOFTWARE
It’s an easy-to-use upgrade, but one that was rolled out somewhat quietly.Īll these changes, however, have caused one part of Zotero to go on the fritz. We’re just upgrading the software to support more sites. To save your item (book, article, website, etc.), click on the drop-down menu and select how you want the resource to be saved. Instead of seeing a book icon (or folder, journal article, etc.) in your address bar, the Zotero translator tool is now located to the far right in your Firefox browser, as indicated in the screenshot below: Zotero, a free and very helpful citation manager used by many Law School faculty and staff, was also recently updated and changed in Firefox. The campus (and entire UW system!) recently switched our library catalog platform and modified several of our web discovery tools. 2015 has been a whirlwind year of change for UW Libraries, even though most of it is not obvious to users.
