Blast. That ruins what I had in mind then. If you take a look at the periodicals part of the TDL dspace at http://repositories.tdl.org/tdl/handle/2249.1/5065 you will see it organises the collection by volume and issue. I want to do something very similar but for multiple journals, and also ordering the articles within an issue. The way that TDL renders the volume/issue data is by using the metadata intro text in the collection. This metadata is set up to list the volume and issue for each DOI in the collection. That is why for non-trivial collections it is going to get very big. The TDL site has a small number of items in the collection and they are complete issues, i.e. no individual articles within the issue. AFAIK it is not enough to tag the item because this doesnt help when displaying the collection. How would one get at the metadata for each item in the collection when at the collection level? Is there a way? -- Regards, Andrew M. http://www.andrewpetermarlow.co.uk
