TAU Libraries Alma OAI-PMH Metadata Harvesting

Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting 2.0 service for the Tel Aviv University library record, served from TAU's Ex Libris Alma tenant. Verified live and keyless on 2026-08-30: Identify returns repositoryName "972TAU", baseURL https://tau.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/view/oai/972TAU_INST/request, repositoryIdentifier alma.972TAU_INST, protocolVersion 2.0 and an adminEmail on tauex.tau.ac.il — the catalogue is TAU's and it is administered by TAU library staff. ListSets returns the institution's own published sets (BrowZine, per-library lendable journal and book sets). The contract, however, is Ex Libris's Alma product, identical in every Alma customer's tenant, so it is recorded as a tenant relationship and no vendor specification is stored under this institution.
