I installed the Zotero plugin in Firefox and then registered an account with WorldCat. Then I added a few books as an experiment. It was not able locate an older book for which I had only a Library of Congress number (no ISBN number). Tellico had located this book, but evidently Zotero does not use LOC numbers. When Tellico found the book it also found an ISBN number for it, so I tried that in Zotero, but it still could not find the book. It is very important to me to be able to look up books by ISBN or LOC number and have Zotero add them to my collection. Otherwise I have to type all the information in manually, which is a major effort considering that I have several thousand books to catalog. More important, I cannot figure out how to get the bibliography that I created in my Zotero account into a Writer document. I got the extension installed, and when I open a new document the Zotero toolbar is displayed, but now what do I do? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
