  1. Need more granularity (quarterly, monthly) on date selectors

    I'd like to be able to refine dates - retrieval period specifically, but publish dates as well. (J Weinberg)

  2. Aggregate and Display Usage for an Institution's historic theses awarded under a previous Institutional Name

    PQDT often contains older theses which were awarded under an institution's old/defunct institutional name. The modern incarnation of the institution should be able to see the aggregated usage for their current ETDs as well as older works, under a single ETD Dashboard account. These older works may also be stored on the same IR as a result of previous digitisation projects the university completed.

  3. Click through to titles from Retrievals by Country map

    It would be great to see the number of theses by country when you hover over the map (didn't realise at first there was a table underneath) and then to be able click through to the titles

  4. Put Published Date Range above Retrieval Period Range

    Intuitively, it makes sense to specify the range of years that ETDs were published before specifying the retrieval period. (J. Weinberg)
