LSE Library Search (Ex Libris Primo VE / Alma)

LSE library discovery runs on Ex Libris Primo VE at librarysearch.lse.ac.uk, which CNAMEs to lse.primo.exlibrisgroup.com and then eu00.primo.exlibrisgroup.com, under LSE's institutional view identifier vid=44LSE_INST. Programmatic access (Primo Search/PNX, Alma REST) follows the Ex Libris developer model and is governed by LSE's institutional configuration and credentials. The tenancy is LSE's; the API contract is Ex Libris'. The June 2026 profile recorded this surface against www.lse.ac.uk, which misattributed a vendor platform to the institution's own host; corrected 2026-08-19.
