This section is related to the ProQuest functionality. Vireo includes an export format for sending theses and dissertations to ProQuest via FTP. By using the Vireo ProQuest export format, universities can bypass any costs of publishing ETDs with ProQuest. These sections and the ProQuest Embargo must be configured in order to complete the export correctly. Other fields must be configured as well, so please consult the ProQuest Export documentation/wiki/spaces/VUG/pages/826376224 separately for full information about exporting ETDs from Vireo to ProQuest.

Indexed By Search Engines: If enabled, all submissions to the ProQuest /UMI catalog will have citation information indexed by third parties (e.g. Google, Yahoo, Bing).

The ProQuest License Agreement itself is visible in the ProQuest Settings PROQUEST SETTINGS and can be edited to add notes about the institution’s policy on submission to ProQuest or to provide other directions. The language of the license itself should never be changed without written permission from ProQuest.
Degree Codes: The degree code is a ProQuest-supplied code for each degree an institution offers. ProQuest will supply a list of degrees that have been received from the university. Users can inform ProQuest if additional degrees need to be added. (For TDL members, these codes will be supplied by TDL.) Only users with the Administrator role can view and edit Degree Codes.
Every degree created in the DEGREES section of Workflow Management settings will appear in this area. Add codes to only those degrees which are submitted to ProQuest.
ProQuest embargoes are maintained in the EMBARGO TYPES section of Workflow Management settings.
