Examples of differently branded communities/collections in DSpace?

[Gail Steinhart]

Hi all,

 

We anticipate integrating some college-level repositories into our existing DSpace instance (6.3), and supporting some level of branding for each that is distinct from our current theme. I’m aware of the University of Minnesota supporting slightly different theme for its data repository and for satellite campuses. Are there any other examples out there that people can share? Please send along the URLs if you have examples.

 

Thanks so much,

Gail

We support a variety of community and collection level themes in our repository (using XMLUI).

We customize the following.

• Landing page: logo, link, some CSS, footer links
• Item display page - which fields appear
• Custom facets per collection

Here are some links that illustrate the differences.

• https://repository.library.georgetown.edu/handle/10822/1  
  
• https://repository.library.georgetown.edu/handle/10822/555527  
  
• Law center theme
• https://repository.library.georgetown.edu/handle/10822/761426 
• Law collection with custom display, sort, and facets plus a glossary link.
• This collection supports formatted markdown on item pages.
• https://repository.library.georgetown.edu/handle/10822/761365  
  
• Art collection with custom item page and facets
• https://repository.library.georgetown.edu/handle/10822/549457 
• Video collection with custom themes. 

We have 4 primary themes: IR, Special Collections, Law Center, Bioethics.

Within each of those themes, we have custom code to evaluate the owning community/collection to trigger lower level customizations.

Here is a presentation that we gave in 2017 on our theme approach: https://gitpitch.com/terrywbrady/dspaceUserMeeting?p=customizedCollections#/

Interesting question! A few examples from XMLUI repositories that we were involved in:

Belspo / ORFEO

For this repository, we had to marry the identity of a centralised repository, with the identity of different independent scientific research institutions.

Participating institutions had the choice to stick with the generic repository branding, or provide specification limited to:

- background colours

- community homepage imagery

Homepage: https://orfeo.kbr.be/

Community page with its own background colours: https://orfeo.kbr.be/handle/internal/10

The usecase of a user starting a search from the homepage, and potentially landing on items from different collections/communities was an important one, and the client felt that the differences could not be too drastic, so the user didn't feel that each item page felt like it was part of a totally different website.

The possibility of an institution to match the background colours of their site, had the benefit that when users would be jumping from the institutional website, to the specific community, the break in look & feel would also be less big.

iPubli / INSERM

The community/collection tree of this repository is organized along types of content. The three top level community have their own colours to make it clear to the user which type of content is being visited.

Homepage: http://www.ipubli.inserm.fr/

TLC pages:

best regards,

Bram
