Chad:

This is done in your dspace.cfg, and you probably want to change it in  
a variety of places.

First is the item display itself. In the "webui.itemdisplay.default ="  
area of the .cfg, the different metadata elements are listed. The  
slashes separate the individual pieces of information, the commas are  
all the elements that will be used for that piece of information. You  
can replace the dc.title element with the one of your choosing.

You likely will want to change this a bit further down in your  
dspace.cfg in the "webui.itemlist.columns =" area as well, which will  
change how the title is displayed when browsing.

You will probably also want to change the way the indexing works, to  
use your title element instead of dc.title.
