Hi Amandeep,
Thank you for your suggestion. But, is it possible in DSpace to restrict
the use of certain Collections to a particular group of user? or can we
make a collection password protected so that the administrator could verify
the identity of the user ?
I think in an open access environment these are some challenging issues for
library professionals.
