University Library Primus Discovery (Ex Libris Primo/Alma tenancy)

Primus, the University Library's central search portal, is an Ex Libris Primo deployment backed by Alma, served from hu-berlin.primo.exlibrisgroup.com under view 49KOBV_HUB:HUB_UB within the KOBV network. The tenancy is real and it is HU's library catalog; the Primo/Alma REST contract belongs to Ex Libris and is deliberately not saved under this institution. API access is governed by the library and Ex Libris and is not self-service.
