| Particularly zealous Zotero users will occasionally push the limits of what Google Scholar, or any other Zotero-compatible database (e.g., ProQuest), wants an individual to access in a given period of time, and you may see a message like the following: | When saving multiple items from a given site, Zotero users will occasionally push the limits of what Google Scholar, or any other Zotero-compatible database (e.g., ProQuest), wants an individual to access in a given period of time, and you may start getting save failures or see a message like the following when browsing the site: |

| This tends to happen if one tries to import 50-100 items from Google Scholar either all at once or in rapid succession. If you need to import such large numbers of items, it is better to first save the items to Google Scholar's [[https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/help.html#library|"My Library"]] feature, then export items en masse as a BibTeX file from the My Library view. Other sites may have similar features that allow exporting a collection of items. | If you need to import large numbers of items at once, it's better to first save the items to Google Scholar's [[https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/help.html#library|"My Library"]] feature and then export items en masse as a BibTeX file from the My Library view. Other sites may have similar features that allow exporting a collection of items. You can also simply click through to the article page and save from there rather than saving from the search results page. |
