TAU Libraries Alma / OAI-PMH Metadata Harvesting

The TAU Libraries Primo discovery layer is backed by the ExLibris Alma library services platform. Alma deployments expose the standard OAI-PMH metadata harvesting protocol and the Alma REST APIs. Endpoints and harvesting access are platform-standard and institution-provisioned; TAU does not publish a dedicated OAI-PMH base URL or developer docs of its own.
