Discover — EBSCO Discovery Service (Massey tenancy)

"Discover" is Massey University Library's discovery layer, an EBSCO Discovery Service tenancy under customer scope 4egzpd, selected by the library in 2012. It searches the library catalogue and subscribed databases from one box. No institution-operated API sits in front of it and EBSCO's own contract is not saved here. The customer-scoped URL returned HTTP 400 to a bare automated request on 2026-09-01; the Massey page that publishes it is live.
