oh if this is proquest: if you're accessing ProQuest through a proxy and using Zotero Standalone, PDFs won't download.

Ok started the thread. The URLs of the Proquest pages you mean? Don't think that will work because it's behind an institutional firewall.

Hmmm.... now I'm thinking I've got a bigger problem that I just discovered when I went to add something from ProQuest - also no translator. And EBSCO stuff isn't working either. I think my problem i

yes. Unfortunately you won't get PDFs attached from some sites (most notably EBSCO, ProQuest, and Sciencedirect) when using Zotero Standalone and an institutional proxy (the .seu.idm.oclc.org part).

Well ProQuest has many parts and probably doesn't know what the other parts are doing!

ProQuest said they didn't do anything.

I was alerted to the fact that the Zotero icon is now showing in Summon 2.0! And it works pretty much. One has to refresh the page to Zotero actually import the new results, even though they look as

what's your set-up? If you're using Standalone and are going through a proxy (accessing the articles from off-campus), you won't get PDFs from ScienceDirect and some other sites (ProQuest and EBSCO, m

Thanks everyone. I misunderstood that I was behind a proxy so that explains why Chrome isn't working for the Proquest link. In Chrome now I am able to get a snapshot but still not a full text PDF. In

Can you confirm that for ProQuest? Also make sure that you actually have access to the PDF.

I'm not able to access the PDF for http://search.proquest.com.proxy.library.vanderbilt.edu/docview/1460847929/A483F54D99854B75PQ/1?accountid=14816 but looking at other articles, it looks like ProQuest

For Proquest, you will not get PDFs when going through a proxy and using the Chrome connector.

I copied over to 7.8 GB to SSD and have just a bit more speed too. Perhaps worth it to use this out of the 256. This is a newspaper article database downloaded from ProQuest with about 8000 pdfs for

It's a bit late since you already have the PDFs, but you should be able to use the URL bar icon from ProQuest to fetch metadata and the PDFs.

I've downloaded a significant amount of dissertations from ProQuest but when I import them into Zotero, it can't retrieve the metadata for any of them. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank

I'm pretty sure aurimas is wrong about this as a general issue. PDFs will download via connectors from many sites even when going through a proxy. What _is_ the case, though, is what I wrote above, i.

No, I just probably didn't express myself well: Using Zotero, you can go to EBSCO or Proquest or Ovid on the web and use _their_ search interface, taking advantage of all the features they offer. Zote
