Hi, DSpace v4.1, JSPUI.
We are having problems with our "Request a copy" form being used by bots to systematically spam our Researchers, therefore I have been asked to investigate adding some kind of "Captcha" to the Request a copy form to ensure that the form is only submitted by real users. I'm just starting my investigations but in the hope of avoiding re-inventing the wheel, I was wondering if anyone out there had already done anything like this and might be willing to share their solution? I've not implemented a Captcha before and see that there are a number of Captcha options available (Google's "reCaptcha" is one that crops up a lot, but then I am searching in Google!), so wondered if anyone had any experiences/opinions on any of the available solutions? Or pointers to useful sites that might help me cut through the promotional chatter to the nuts and bolts of actually doing it? I've had a quick look in the DSpace mail archives, but could only find some fairly old cursory discussions on the topic (and were mostly around the XMLUI), but if I've missed anything, feel free to point me in the right direction.
