However, the ProQuest import process is a very computationally expensive operation due to the inefficient ProQuest feed's internal structure and proquest_import_monitor is set up to run only twice a week:
- Monday 2 AM EST (11 PM PST).
- Thursday 2 AM EST (11 PM PST). This run uses an additional --process-removals flag which forces proquest_import_monitor to remove from Circulation Manager's catalog items that are no longer present in the ProQuest feed (it's not enabled by default).
