TAU Libraries Primo VE Discovery (DaTA Search)

Tel Aviv University Libraries run Ex Libris Primo VE for catalogue discovery, branded "DaTA Search", institution code 972TAU_INST:TAU, on the TAU-specific tenant host tau.primo.exlibrisgroup.com. TAU's own data.tau.ac.il vanity host redirects to it. The Primo Search REST API behind the interface is provisioned per institution through Ex Libris API keys; no TAU-published developer portal or key request path exists. Recorded as a tenant relationship — the discovery index is TAU's, the contract is Ex Libris's.
