Hello, We tackled the same problem in version 1.4.2. Therefore we added extra DC qualifiers (bibliographicCitation.issue / volume / ...) which we also uses for a better structured input format (see http://193.190.8.15/odin/ - you can test this out with user name and login dspace). For every journal we have different collection. We created an application which uses a slightly adapted mods to present the journal in the volume/issue structure: see different examples at: http://www.uhasselt.be/bibliotheek/ao/aojournals.htm.
We don't have time to update our DSpace customization to 1.5. I hope that version 2.0 will solve a few problems like the limitiations of Qualified DC.

It doesn't completely address the problem you're asking about but is in the same sphere, and i second what Mark said, it is likely best to not use communities and collections in that manor. http://repositories.tdl.org/tdl/handle/2249.1/5065 Here is the theme used to generate that view is located here: http://repositories.tdl.org/tdl/themes/TDL/Periodicals/sitemap.xmap http://repositories.tdl.org/tdl/themes/TDL/Periodicals/Periodicals.xsl The trick we used is to add xml describing journal issues in the metadata of the collection, then the theme knows to interpret this small bit of data to build a browsable list of journal issues. Each of those provide links to a masked search page for individual articles, plus a list to an item that contains the full pdf for the journal. Here is the current bit of XML on the collection: <issues xmlns:tdl="http://www.tdl.org/NS/tdl"; xmlns="http://www.tdl.org/NS/tdl "> <issue vol="66" num="3&4" year="2008" name="" handle="2249.1/5643"/> <issue vol="66" num="1&2" year="2008" name="" handle="2249.1/5546"/> <issue vol="65" num="3&4" year="2007" name="" handle="2249.1/5496"/> <issue vol="65" num="1&2" year="2007" name="" handle="2249.1/5438"/> <issue vol="64" num="3&4" year="2006" name="" handle="2249.1/5439"/> <issue vol="64" num="1&2" year="2006" name="" handle="2249.1/5440"/> <issue vol="63" num="3&4" year="2005" name="" handle="2249.1/5441"/> <issue vol="63" num="1&2" year="2005" name="" handle="2249.1/5442"/> <issue vol="62" num="3&4" year="2004" name="" handle="2249.1/5443"/> <issue vol="62" num="1&2" year="2004" name="" handle="2249.1/5444"/> <issue vol="61" num="3&4" year="2003" name="" handle="2249.1/5445"/> <issue vol="61" num="1&2" year="2003" name="" handle="2249.1/5446"/> <issue vol="60" num="3&4" year="2002" name="" handle="2249.1/5447"/> <issue vol="60" num="1&2" year="2002" name="" handle="2249.1/5448"/> </issues> Scott-- On Jan 22, 2009, at 2:08 PM, Diggory Mark wrote: > Andrew, > > I might recommend avoiding using Collections for Issues, mostly > because then your going to end up with "lots" of the them, and that > tends to make the interface both difficult to navigate and maintain. > > Another possibility to consider, instead, add the issue detail > either to the Item directly, or possibly create separate Items to > hold the issue metadata (relating them to one another in > dc.relation.isPartOf/hasPart fields). > > Thus: > > Society = Community > > Journal = Collection > > Issue and its Errata: Held in "Issue Item" > > Article and its Errata: Held in "Article Item" > > You might then customize your presentation and search to Group > Articles under Issues. > > -Mark > > On Jan 22, 2009, at 1:41 AM, Andrew Marlow wrote: > >> I am trying to set up a DSpace that models societies, journals, >> issues and articles.
