[GUI Plugin] Zotero Metadata Importer
Summary:
You must use Zotero to use ZMI, which both imports files from Zotero into Calibre, and exports files from Calibre for import into Zotero.
- ZMI has the ability to export Calibre metadata to an RIS file specifically formatted for Zotero, including an "L1" RIS Tag used by Zotero to automatically import a Calibre .pdf file into Zotero as an Item's File Attachment, and an "L4" RIS Tag that does the same for other ebook formats, such as .epub or .mobi or any others.
- If you want your Zotero book files in Calibre along with their Zotero metadata, ZMI is currently the only known mechanism to do so other than manually keying it into Calibre. Refer to the attached images that provide an overview.
You must use ZMI to add your Zotero books to Calibre if you want ZMI to automatically update those books with the Zotero metadata. Do not use the "Add Books" button in Calibre unless you want to manually enter the Zotero Metadata.
- ZMI has a "Compare to Zotero" function that will use the Zotero "KEY", which is assigned automatically by Zotero to each and every item, and which is imported by ZMI into Calibre, to compare Zotero items to Calibre books. This comparison is by both Collection in Zotero, and for all Calibre books in your ZMI Calibre Library regardless of Collection assignment.
This comparison will automatically update Calibre metadata for each book with its currently assigned Zotero Collection. If a Zotero item is part of more than one (1) Collection, ZMI will report that fact.
See the example ZMI Comparison Report for all Collections below.
