Dear Amjad,

Here is a brief list of how our dspace instance, HKU Scholars Hub, prepared this "Browse by Type" function.

1. Each item should have a dc.type value. The values are controlled unique words.

2. In dspace.cfg, add dc.type into one of the search.index list
(search.index.1, search.index.2, etc)

3. Run index-init

4. Prepare some dspace search URLs, write them into links for users.
e.g. in our dspace instance we have a link "/simple-search?query=(type:Journal)" for searching journal items Consult the dspace help page for the format of the query string. This help page is supposed to help your users.

5. That's it. Our "Browse by Type" is actually a result of "Search by Type". We predefined the search and users will get a list by clicking into a link.

Simple, easy way to introduce additional aspects to classify and display items.
Hope you find it useful.

Best,
Allen Lam.
