Sally has seen a sudden spike in the downloads of her thesis. She wants to see if it can be tracked back to a specific mention. She logs into DSpace and by looking at her advanced statistics page, she can see that her thesis was mentioned in a blog post by a well known person in her field. (Referring page)

Sally is interested in understanding how people find her work in the repository. She looks at her advanced statistics page and can see the search terms people use both within the repository and referred from external web searches.

John, the repository manager, wants to understand where downloads are occurring in the world over time. He logs into DSpace and can see what countries have download items the most and at what times of day.
