There will be gunge that comes through from the original MaRC cataloguing:
- but I'm not sure what can be done about this, as we don't want to routinely delete that last two or three characters!

Sorry, I should point out that the export does not include downloading the RIS formatted text as a file, though this may be possible with some Apache trickery, (or a Perl script?).
Zotero does allow importing from the clipboard, which means you can select and copy the text, and use the Import option to import the RIS formatted text from the clipboard - very nifty!
Let me know if you need help - it should be straightforward as long as you're careful.
