EPFL Library Discovery on swisscovery (Ex Libris, tenant)

EPFL's library discovery and resolution run on Ex Libris Primo VE with Alma behind it, delivered through SLSP (Swiss Library Service Platform). EPFL's holdings, EPFL's patrons, EPFL's branded entry point — Ex Libris's contract. No Ex Libris specification is saved under EPFL's slug; the relationship is recorded so the catalog knows EPFL operates a library discovery layer without crediting EPFL for someone else's API.
