in fairness it's my understanding that a lot of the UK-based libraries with collections focusing on both medieval and early modern periods are still recovering from significant hacks from many years ago, but still

I wrote a research paper on the frontispiece in John Case's Sphaera Civitatis a year and a half ago and this morning I just received an email from a university library fulfilling a thesis request I made back then 💀

obsidian's web clipper is more simple by comparison, although I haven't spent as much time futzing around with it yet, it does a lot of the same things (scraping a page's contents) but is obviously more attuned to notetaking than for use in a reference manager

oh wow both the obsidian and zotero web clipper add-ons are amazing

I'm just using Stephen Eisenmann's 'Nineteenth Century Art: A Critical History' as an example here. perhaps predictably, this feature doesn't seem to work on scanned books or other documents however

very cool 🙂‍↕️
