Worldcat ISBN matching not working (LoC works fine)

thepezman

188BET靠谱吗I have some books I would like to add to Zotero that appear in Worldcat but not Library of Congress.188BET靠谱吗My understanding is that Zotero is supposed to check against both databases, so this shouldn't be a problem.Here are a few examples:

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/875896857
http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/922998795
http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1107357409

188BET靠谱吗However, anytime I try to copy-paste any of the stated ISBNs from those pages into Zotero's lookup field, I'm told the entry can't be found.When I do the same thing with an entry from LoC, it works just fine.

188BET靠谱吗I'm on Ubuntu 19.10 using Zotero 5.0.84, both currently the latest released versions.

Could we get a debug ID (see 188BET靠谱吗//www.brodersterzo.com/support/debug_output#zotero188BET靠谱吗) for Zotero for trying to use add by identifier on
9781940535012
That works for me and should work as you suggest.

@dstillman, could you take a look?

@thepezman: This is an-campus network, right?188BET靠谱吗We've seen this a few times in the past, where when Zotero tries to download RIS from an on-campus network with some sort of WorldCat subscription it gets a webpage instead of actual RIS, possibly due to some sort of cookie-based authentication (despite the RIS file being publicly available normally).It'd be best to ask whoever manages your WorldCat subscription about why this might be happening.

188BET靠谱吗Note that you should still be able to save from the WorldCat page using the Save to Zotero button.188BET靠谱吗(I'm not sure if you were actually on those pages to begin with — in which case you should always use the Save to Zotero button — or were just providing those links to show that the data for those ISBNs was available there.)

@dstillman, thanks for your response!

Does this mean that if I try the ISBN import on a non-campus network, it should work?That seems like the simpler option.

adamsmith

Yes, we'd definitely expect this to work on a non-campus network.Let us know if that's not the case.

Works great!Thanks for helping me get to the bottom of this.
