I've been using MaxMind GeoLite City data to implement the Location directiv=
e (https://help.oclc.org/Library_Management/EZproxy/Configure_resources/Loca=
tion)

The MaxMind web site now requires users to create an account before accessin=
g the data (though it's still free): https://blog.maxmind.com/2019/12/18/sig=
nificant-changes-to-accessing-and-using-geolite2-databases/

Anyone else out there using this? Any concerns about creating a free account=
 in order to continue doing so?

Thanks,
-carrie preston
