Trouble Importing Bio Info Automatically From Sites
I just downloaded Zotero 3.0.3 Stand Alone. I live in Africa where internet is not always available, so the Stand Alone was appealing in that it was not always attached to the FireFox Browser.
HOWEVER, I was told I could quickly import biographical material by going to certain websites (e.g. WorldCat.org) where a little blue book would be located on the URL bar-- simply click on it and it imports it to Zotero. I haven't seen this and have not been able to smoothly transfer bio material other than by hand (very time consuming!). What should I do?

Further, how exactly does bio info import automatically. For example, I go to Worldcat.org and type in "Think Piper" and it takes me to his book with all the info. How is Zotero to help me from there?
Once it's working, you'd see the book icon in Safari/Chrome on a result page in Worldcat, you click it, Zotero imports the data.
I still haven't figured out how to do this on Firefox, though I've downloaded this several times. I'll keep trying
Are you talking about that option that says: Zotero 3.0.3 for Firefox (3.5 MB, Firefox extension)? Regarding the Zotero Standalone connectors, the only options I've found have been
Zotero Connector 3.0.3 for Google Chrome (179 KB)
Zotero Connector 3.0.3 for Safari (212 KB)
yes.
