Caryn, Have you seen the "Request Copy" add-on? It may have some of the functionality you are looking for, but the version that currently exists does -not- work with DSpace 1.5. In fact, it doesn't work with 1.4, either. The developers, from what I have learned, are no longer supporting it.
http://dspace.org/add-ons-and-extensions/#request We have hacked together an updated version of this to allow us to upgrade to 1.5, but I'm pretty sure it's not the "right" way to do it in DSpace's new development environment. --Joel Joel Richard IT Specialist, Web Services Department Smithsonian Institution Libraries | http://www.sil.si.edu/ (202) 633-1706 | (202) 786-2861 (f) | [email protected] ________________________________ From: Caryn Neiswender <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:19:24 -0500 To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: [Dspace-tech] DSpace Account Management Hello, All~ I am working on a proposal about DSpace account management for the UCIspace @ the Libraries system. As with other DSpace instances, we restrict access to some bitstreams, and require interested users to submit an application for access. >From what I can tell, there are two steps to providing access: registration >(either by the user or an admin), then an administrator adds them to the >"access" group. What I'm wondering is how do others handle this, both from a >user and admin perspective?
