Finding available PDFs in Zotero application
Report ID: 1709081919
Hi there! I am currently having trouble finding available PDFs in the Zotero application. In a collection of 324 items, PDFs were only found for about 1/6 of items despite the fact that I have an institutional account with my university that should have access to most full texts. I noticed this morning that my primary Zotero email account was my personal one, not my university one, so I changed that to make my university email primary. I'm not sure if there are other ways to ensure my Zotero account is linked to my institution or not, but is there anything else I can do to be able to retrieve more PDFs through Zotero?
Thank you so much!

If you're not sure, you're likely not on your institutional IP range.
You can go to a page like:
https://www.showmyip.com/
which will show your IP -- it'd typically list your university as your ISP if you're actually on their network; otherwise it'll show your home ISP.
Thanks so much for your time!
