Alex Lemann's question of yesterday brought to mind a question that the group 
might be able to help us with. 

The process we are using to build content is that the library pre-populates 
each faculty member's collection with citations, and we then ask faculty to 
attach their pre-/post-print file to the appropriate record. We have provided 
each faculty member administrative control over their own collection in our 
repository so that they may edit as necessary and (preferably) attach 
bitstreams to the citations. We do worry somewhat that faculty may mess up the 
records, but the limited likelihood of this happening was outweighed by a 
desire to provide them with a sense of control over the collections. 

The trouble with this system is that it seems to bypass the license step in the 
submission process, which currently only appears at the end of the 
self-archiving process. We would like to have the license step also appear when 
anyone edits an item to attach a bitstream to a record in DSpace.

Is there anyone out there who has made these modifications already, and is 
willing to share the code? We're running DSpace 1.6.2, but are in the process 
of upgrading to 1.7.2 at month's end. 

Many thanks,
Geoffrey
