Dear colleagues,



We recently were contacted and warned by ProQuest Technical Support due to
“excessive usage.”  This turned out to be legitimate usage by overzealous
students working on a class assignment.   Coincidently, I was just sent a
new “overarching” ProQuest license to sign.   Our license indicates that
users are permitted to download or print “reasonable” amounts of material.
  The new license contains a new section with a list of Restrictions.



I am wondering if others are also experiencing this type of thing
(excessive usage claims) coming from ProQuest and a tightening of license
terms regarding usage?



Thank you to anyone who is willing to share their recent experience with
this.

Best,

Narda
