Peter Dietz commented on DS-575:
--------------------------------
I agree that its bad that user has no idea what they're supposed to do, when
they reach a naked collection page. But then for collections that have a nice
collection description and logo, the collection might want the user to see the
collection page. To me it seems like a potential solution would be to have
{browse-by-title} displayed on the collection page.
Part of the ideal (not too far off) solution would be to have the link go to
collection home page, but then to build in the "stuff" of that collection into
the collection page. So imagine this discovery work embedded into that
collection page.

and perhaps allowing the collection you are in to be a facet that can be
closed to expand your scope of items.
I.e. current collection equals "science journal 2006", they might be interested
in stuff in neighboring collections, or contained within the community, or
expand scope completely and be able to find things in entire repo.

> Key: DS-575
> URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-575
> Project: DSpace 1.x
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.5.2
> Reporter: Dorothea Salo
>
> On item summary pages, DSpace currently places a link back to the item's
> owning collection's splash page. This can be confusing to users expecting to
> click through to all the items in the collection, especially when there is no
> collection-description text in the owning collection (quite a common
> circumstance in our instance). Users tend to think that the "recently
> submitted" list contains every item in the collection.
> Linking to the collection's title-browse page instead un-confuses these
> users, and ensures that all users will get to something relatively useful.
> Users wishing to go directly to the collection splash page can still do so
> via the breadcrumb trail at page-top.
