Support Endeca OPAC

[stakats]

Endeca is used by the Florida state system and NC state. There are significant discrepancies between FSU's and NCSU's catalogs, perhaps because of version or implementation differences. FSU, for example, just requires flipping a flag in the URL to display a MARC record (change V=D to V=M). NCSU requires the generation of a URL like

http://catalog.lib.ncsu.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/download_hitlist/A0r3evn1.001/NCSUCatResults.mrc?server=1home&format=MARC&server=1home&item=1&item_source=1home

where "A0r3evn1.001" is a randomly generated key that appears only once the item record is displayed. NCSU generates a MARC binary.

(In [1690]) Addresses #755 by adding two new translators to support NC State and the Florida state university system. Once more Endeca catalogs show up we can work to generalize further.

It looks like this ticket should have been closed a while back. However I would have reopened it. The NC endeca translator is working fine but the FSU translator is no longer functional. Both search results and individual items no longer import. See ​http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/3849

Duke has also moved to a Endeca catalog. ​http://library.duke.edu/ Working up a translator for it might help us develop a general Endeca translator. See this thread ​http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/3688/

FSU's Endeca translator is not working again. The regex can tell which pages are search results and individual records, but you cannot import either. See ​http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/3919
