Sally wants to see how many times her dissertation has been downloaded. She goes to the item page and can see both the number of times the page has been viewed as well as the number of times it has been downloaded. She can see this by different time frames (last day, month, year) as well as for specific time frames (Feb-Mar this year). She is especially interested in seeing a graphic representation of downloads so she can better see visually whether there was an impact on downloads when she presented on her research at a scholarly conference.
