CSL variable for Library Catalog #8

Closed rmzelle closed 11 years ago

rmzelle commented 13 years ago

MLA style includes the library catalog/database through which an article has been accessed. journalArticle has the "Library Catalog"/libraryCatalog field, but there doesn't seem to be a suitable CSL variable to map it to. Maybe we should add a catalog variable to CSL?

No, that's too concrete. Maybe something more generic (that could be used in other contexts) like "source"?

adam3smith commented 13 years ago

"source" sounds too generic to me. How about "database" - that's bound to become more important in the future and I think I'm already seeing a trend to require this in more styles. Plus, that's what the requirement really is about.

bdarcus commented 13 years ago

Let me be clear: my suggestion was only about the CSL end of the equation. Does that make more sense then?

But I still don't see why it's too generic for the UI (particularly if there can be a tool-tip description?).

avram commented 13 years ago

"source" in CSL sounds fine to me. I'd leave the Zotero UI and field name untouched for now-- we just finished migrating these into Library Catalog not that long ago.

Bumping this with the current MLA discussion on the Zotero forum: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/7965/
