Description
Imported from Trac ticket #19 reported by jboggs on 2009-07-23:
As reported by Jen Anderson on the dev list, we should figure out a way to use shorter titles for exhibit navigation element, if needed. Having long exhibit, section, and page titles can make the design of exhibit navigation unruly.
This could either be an additional field, like "Short Title," or the system could automatically take the first 3-5 words of a title to make the navigation. The latter would be simple to implement as-is, while the former would require adding fields to the exhibit tables, and creating a migration for the changes to the DB.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating how exhibit, section, and page titles are rendered in exhibit navigation, then compare the proposed Short Title field with automatic shortening. Done means a decided approach is implemented without unruly navigation for long titles, with database changes and migration included if a new field is chosen.
