[Eril-l] ProQuest Admin: required use of personal information

[Eric Elmore]

I ran into it and when I contacted support to express my displeasure at yet another vulture capitalism effort to exploit my contact information for sale to marketers.  The support rep I talked to said you can cancel past the screen and it's "not supposed" to affect your ability to administer your account.  It irritated me to the point of rescheduling that task to another day, and when I logged back in the next time the screen didn't accost me.

Subject: [Eril-l] ProQuest Admin: required use of personal information

Hello e-resources folks,

Have any of you encountered the pop up on the ProQuest admin site requiring consent to use personally identifiable information? If so, do you know why they are requiring this and what kind of information they are gathering? I have not seen this kind of notice on any of our other admin platforms and it struck me as odd.
