Hi Claudia, Thanks for reminding. I forgot there is that button. It has been unused for a long time. Here's is the reason. It is author-oriented. Very often we find that this mapping tool cannot satisfy our needs. It requires admin to type in an author name and then pick out items from a list. But the search is not intelligent enough - it is case-sensitive; it needs a precise matching of punctuations within the keyword; it knows no word boundary. And sometimes it takes a long time to generating a long list, plus it is difficult to pick items from a long list. Our use case is often item-oriented - we have a list of itemIDs/handles/titles and want to map the items to several collections. An easier approach is to have an "Add Collection-Mapping" button in the Edit Item page. Having said "Add", it is logical to have "Delete" too. Along side with the original "Move" function the collection-mapping editing tool is complete. I customized the src to allow more actions in the item edit servlet. We also have commond line tools for batch changes to mapping. If these are generally wanted improvements I am pleased to help introduce them in future versions of dspace. What do you think?
