  1. Scroll Bar for Theses

    I would like to have a scroll bar on the right side of a thesis so I don't have to use my mouse to go through 50+ pages. Having a scroll bar means I would be able to go to the exact page I need much quicker.

  2. Request for ProQuest Platform - Log in through your library from Open web

    When we sign in ProQuest Platform from open web (proquest.com), it's sometimes hard to find where to log in with ProQuest Account because it's hidden by "more access options" tab. Could you show us it without expanding a tab? Posted on behalf of the customers in Japan.

  3. Dissertations and Theses as Open Access

    I would like to be able to have access to PQDT dissertations and theses without having to be part of a university subscription. It would be of benefit to many to make this research publicly available as Open Access.

  4. Accessible PDFs in PQDT

    PDFs inside PQDT are not ADA or WCAG compliant, so as a native screen reader I am unable to use PQDT for my research. Is there a way to create PDFs that are accessible to screen readers, or a different way of presenting the content within PQDT that is screen reader friendly?

  5. Justification of paying for PQDT with OA options

    As most of the theses are Open Access, I think it becomes harder and harder to justify paying for databases such as these. Base, Core, OpenAire, Ebsco Open Dissertations will yield most of the same results.
