In addition to a custom theme, we have applied custom facets in a couple of
our collections. It has been helpful to label the facet for the
collection's context.
- https://repository.library.georgetown.edu/handle/10822/549457
(collection of video interviews)
- https://repository.library.georgetown.edu/handle/10822/710900
(collection of MOOC resources)
In several of our custom themes, we have re-labeled the Contributor/Author
field name in the item summary view.
