Peter Dietz commented on DS-443:
--------------------------------
There's two cases here:
1) The repository only contains metadata abstracts for some items (doesn't
matter if you're logged in) - no bitstream
2) There is a bitstream, but only available to users who are member of a
special group
Claudia's solution, would solve case #2.
So to solve #1 somewhat, I somewhat like how Google Books does it.
http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#q=hair+styles&tbs=bks:1
The user can alter their browse filter, which defaults to Any view
> Any view
Preview and full view
Full view
And for each item in the browse list, at the end of its title + metadata it has
a little message that says: Full view, Preview, Snippet View, or No Preview.
Or, another solution, that the screenshot indicates, to add a PDF icon to the
browse list, when there is a bitstream available. I think that if you use a
media filter that tries to create a thumbnail for all media types, you could
show the thumbnail. In the case on non-visual-media-types, like an audio file,
zip, or csv you could then just show the MIME-type icon. In the case of
multiple bitstreams, it could be PDF + 5 more.

> Many repositories contain metadata only items, or item's from which the full
> text is not accessible. As some of these repositories have implemented
> (minor) customizations to make it clear in the search and/or browse results,
> whether bitstreams are available, (or sometimes even show the direct link to
> the full-text on the search/browse results) it could be a useful feature of
> the DSpace core.
> An example:
