Their exp= lanation seemed reasonable, and I value their service, so I don't mind. I pl= an to look into their automated tools at some point. My 2-cetns, since EZproxy is licensed to include the Maxmind dataset<https:/= /help.oclc.org/Library_Management/EZproxy/Configure_resources/Location> it w= ould be great if OCLC could integrate the download and start/stop process in= to the software so we don't have to coordinate/script it ourselves. (The rec= ent change to a .mmdb file makes this a bit annoying.) I could see a simple = page on the admin side that allows us to select a day of the month (I always= use the 10th) and a time when the entire process would be automated and pul= ls the new file from the OCLC servers.
