UC Library Search / Primo VE Discovery (Ex Libris tenant)

Library discovery for the Berkeley campus runs on Ex Libris Primo VE as part of the shared UC Library Search environment. search.library.berkeley.edu is a Berkeley-branded hostname that CNAMEs to berkeley.primo.exlibrisgroup.com and then to na07.primo.exlibrisgroup.com, with a Berkeley view code of 01UCS_BER:UCB. No Berkeley-operated Alma OAI provider exists -- probing the Alma OAI endpoint with the Berkeley view code returns "Institution code 01UCS_BER is invalid", confirming the institution is a view inside a UC-wide network zone rather than the operator of its own Alma instance. The Library does publish its own open-source Alma and Primo tooling on GitHub. Recorded as a tenant relationship; no vendor contract saved here.
