University Library Discovery (Ex Libris Primo)

The University Library's discovery layer runs on Ex Libris Primo at tu-berlin.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com — an institution-specific tenant on a vendor platform, reached from the library pages at www.tu.berlin/ub. The holdings, the view configuration and the patron relationship are TU Berlin's; the API and the contract are Ex Libris'. Recorded as a tenant relationship so the institution is credited with operating a discovery service without being credited with Ex Libris' engineering. No Ex Libris specification is saved under this slug.
