D'oh! Of course there is, this can be done on a per item basis on the
"Edit Item" screen (we've only got about 70 eTheses at the moment, so
doable). So no need to over tax my rudimentary SQL knowledge!
My other questions remain though (until I have another D'oh moment and
answer them for myself of course ;-) )

One thing I'm wondering about is any possible effects this may have on
OAI harvesters, but there could be other issues I haven't thought about
. . .
