> (I was thinking hard whether to mark this as improvement or bug. I decided 
> it's a usability bug.)
> When you open a collection, you don't see the collection contents (items). 
> You see a list of possible views (Browse by: By Issue Date, Authors, Titles, 
> ...). For first time users, this is confusing (they don't see content 
> immediately) and for regular users there's an extra click required every time 
> they open a collection (!). Confusion of first time users is further 
> aggravated because they see a list of recent submissions which looks like 
> they're looking at content, but this not complete paginable content and 
> complete content in this format (reverse chronological by submission date) is 
> not even available as an option. The last issue is that it's not even easily 
> visible how many items a collection contains before selecting one of the 
> views.
> I'm sorry to sound so harsh about this, I know it's been always like that in 
> DSpace so some might consider that a feature. But I've seen first-time DSpace 
> users confused over this again and again. I think this is a major usability 
> problem.
> Proposed solution:
> 1) Pick a default (but configurable) view for collections
> 2) Remove "Recent submissions" from collections
> 3) Add "By submission date" as a view - complete with pagination and item 
> count. This can be even made the default view.
