ETH Zurich – Swiss Federal Institute of Technology

ETH Library @ swisscovery (Ex Libris Alma/Primo via SLSP)

ETH Library's discovery layer runs as the 41SLSP_ETH view on swisscovery, the shared Ex Libris Alma/Primo platform operated by the Swiss Library Service Platform (SLSP). The holdings and the MMS identifiers surfaced by ETH's own Discovery API come from this system. The tenant is ETH's; the platform, the contract and the Ex Libris APIs are not. No Ex Libris specification is stored under this institution.
