Withdrawn item
It is a logical deletion. The Item can be restored and it can be used to keep track of what has been available for a while on the public sitethe removal of an Item from the archive. However, a withdrawn item is still available to Administrative users (and may optionally be restored to the archive at a later date). A withdrawn item disappears from DSpace (except from Administrative screens) and the item appears to be deleted.
Expected use cases:
Private item
Note |
---|
Despite its name, a "private" item is not necessarily access restricted. It's simply hidden from all search/browse/OAI results, and is therefore only accessible via direct link (or bookmark). If you wish to access restrict the item so that it is no longer available to a certain group of users (or only available to Admins), you should edit the Item's Authorization Policies (via the Edit Item screens). |
Warning |
---|
Private items are not guaranteed to be hidden from search engines. While making an item private can make it more difficult for search engines to locate, a private item may still end up being indexed if it is linked from any other public website, social network account, etc. Additionally, please be aware there is currently a known bug where private items are included in DSpace sitemaps, see DS-1977. |
This state should only refer to the discoverable nature of the item. A private item will not be included in any system that aims to help users to find items. So it will not appear in:
...
It should be accessible under the actual ACL rules Authorization Policies of DSpace using direct URL or query method such as:
...
An item that is in a stable state, available in the repository under the defined ACL ruleAuthorization Policies. Changes to these items are possible only for a restricted group of users (administrators) and should produce versioning according to the Institution's policy.
