Caltech Library Guides (Springshare tenancy)

Caltech Library's discovery and research-guide layer runs on Springshare LibGuides/LibApps rather than on institution-operated software. Recorded as a real institutional relationship — one of the few programmable surfaces most universities have — with no vendor specification saved under Caltech's slug. Verified live 2026-08-19: libguides.caltech.edu 200, caltech.libapps.com 200.

apis.yml Raw ↑ 
aid: caltech:libguides-springshare
name: Caltech Library Guides (Springshare tenancy)
x-operator: tenant
x-operator-rationale: libguides.caltech.edu is an institution-branded subdomain that CNAMEs to a Springshare-operated
  CloudFront distribution; Caltech is site_id 64 on Springshare's shared platform. The content and the
  tenancy are Caltech's; the contract is Springshare's. The generic vendor API at lgapi-us.libapps.com
  (verified 401 without a key) is NOT saved under this institution — it belongs to Springshare's own repo.
