Sean, I have an embargo in place in our instance of Dspace. It's not ideal, but is a workaround. I can find the docs of what I changed and send to you if helpful. What have you already implemented? What version of Dspace are you using? If I'm recalling correctly, the patch I loaded was in SourceForge, and uses an existing table date field to hold the embargo. Here's an example of what it looks like on the front end https://digarchive.library.vcu.edu/dspace/handle/10156/2358
I would also like to resurrect this topic as well - There are several programs at VCU where grad students and professors alike are hesitant to open up their work to the public. It would be great if we could incorporate embargo into a future release of Dspace. Thanks!
