retrieve metadata won't work without internet?

Hi,

Why the latest Zotero I downloaded days ago (for MacOS, mine is 10.7.2) could not retrieve PDF journal article when the computer has no internet connection? When I pluged-in the cable for internet, it worked perfectly. Does zotero work that way?

If I remember well, there was no problem before when I used Zotero for Windows 7, without internet connection.

Thanks for any comment.

Cheers,
Wim
  • Zotero has always required an internet connection for retrieving metadata retrieval for PDFs. It uses WorldCat.org, CrossRef.org, and Google Scholar.
