    I may be experiencing a similar issue. used to regularly add books to zotero using the Add item(s) by identifier on the menu bar, and then pasting the ISBN number in, with almost no problems. Now it seems that the majority of attempts come back with a message "Zotero could not find a record for the specified identifier. Please verify the identifier and try again."
    An example from today ISBN: 9780825438912

    Works absolutely fine on worldcat.org as below

    The only thing that has changed recently is I have upgraded to windows 11 from windows 10.
    Any thoughts?
    Many thanks

    (Please start new threads for new issues — the thread you posted to was about ZoteroBib, not Zotero. I've moved this to a new thread.)

    That ISBN works for me via Add Item by Identifier. If it's still not working for you, we'd want to see a Debug ID for an attempt that fails.
