[Dspace-general] Harvesting OAI dark archive collections

[Leonie Hayes]

Hi all
I am hoping you can help out with a question about limited access
collections.

We have 2 PhD collections, one is a restricted access PhD collection,
where only the adminsitrator can access the collection, the users can
only see the browse by author or title or date, you cannot view the
metadata record. The reason is we do not have consents for open access,
or if we have the consents, it is in our backlog and they are waiting
for processing. 

I have been told I need to configure DSpace to limit this, I did quite a
bit of research to see if you can create your own customised OAI output
but did not make a lot of progress.

I see there are quite a few sites with collections like ours, Cambridge
Dark Archive Collection.

Could anyone give me an explanation of how this works and what I need to
do so end users don't get confused picking up restricted items from the
harvesters.

Many thanks
