Shared Contacts – available when disconnected from network?

Hello,

In our office most people work off of desktop computers but one user is working from a laptop.

We'd like to use Shared Contacts (through granting permissions and opening each other's Address Book on our respective stations).

If the laptop user is on the network, opens everybody's Address Book, and then disconnects from the network, does the laptop's Outlook "remember" all the Contacts? E.g. if the user goes on a trip, can they still view the Contact from a different user's Address Book?

Thank you!
