Hi! (1) Will the write policy allow a user to edit his item submissions in DSpace. (2) Can a single user be given privilege to create sub-communities apart from Administrators (3) Can a user submit articles to several collections or communities at a time? Thanks, Jayan

I noticed that when you are browsing by title, author, etc and you use the jump to feature along the top of the page to get to records beginning with a certain letter, the records that are listed always include records that begin with the previous letter. Does anybody know if there is a

Does anybody know if there is a reason why the actual record that you're looking for is always listed as the third or fourth option down? It's a librarian thing. The idea is that if the record you asked for is listed first, but turns out *not* to be the record you actually want, you can't see
