Thanks for your help, you are brilliant!
You hit it right away. The collection owner was authorized to
edit items and inadvertently set some as 'private'.

Glad I could help :)

Anyway, I'll have to do some work to find any other items that may have been set to
private.

You can easily identify them in the database since it's a column on the item table. If you're using XMLUI, you can also see all private items at eg http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/admin/private -- I'm not sure whether similar page exists in JSPUI.

I'll look to see if there is an option to turn off setting items private,
which just seems like a bad idea.

I don't think it can be turned off. You could change the wording around the "make private" button to strongly discourage your users? Really I guess it should be called "discoverable" in the user interface (like it is called in the code/database), and perhaps there is some overlap with the (relatively new) access rights awareness in Discovery that doesn't make for the best user experience. Feel free to report this as a bug :) https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS

cheers,
Andrea
