Hi Claudia, Thanks for the response. I see now how that fits within the DSpace structure.
I guess the confusion for our design group, why they saw this as a flaw, is that once you're at the page for a single author there isn't much use to the alpha navigation except to start a new browse list based on a different letter. If the list of items associated with a single author is large, 'previous page'/'next page' links would serve well for browsing. I think we felt it would be more useful to use the alpha list as a way to help users browse the author names more broadly, rather than refining the browse list for a single author. We may decide to explore a change to this on our own. If we do, I will pass along whatever we come up with.
