University of Alberta Library Catalogue (Alma Z39.50 + Primo VE) is one of 6 APIs that [University of Alberta](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-alberta/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Library, Library Catalog, Z39.50, and Discovery. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The library's discovery and catalogue layer is Ex Libris. The library publishes its own Z39.50 production server details on a ualberta.ca page — host ualberta.alma.exlibrisgroup.com, port 1921, database 01UOA_INST — and states support for the Bath Profile v1.1 functional area A levels 0 and 1, enumerating the bib-1 attribute combinations. The public discovery front end is Primo VE at search.library.ualberta.ca (view 01UOA_INST:UOA_NDE), on the university's own subdomain but running the vendor's application. Documented by the institution, operated by Ex Libris.
