University of Antwerp

Wander (formerly Brocade) — library platform built by UAntwerpen Library & Archive

Wander is the integrated library, collection and research-information platform the University of Antwerp Library & Archive has built since 1998, when it was called Brocade and the department was called Anet. It rebranded to Wander during 2026 — anet.be now redirects to www.wander.be — and is offered to universities, archives, museums and heritage institutions across Flanders as WanderCollections, WanderResearch, WanderReservations and Impala. The application runs at go.wander.be, with anet.uantwerpen.be and repository.uantwerpen.be as institution-branded entrances onto the same host. There is no public self-service REST API and no published specification; the machine-readable surface it exposes is the OAI-PMH interface catalogued separately above. Open-source components are published through the anet-be GitHub organisation. This entry is the reason this profile is not a normal university profile: it is the institution as software vendor, and other institutions in this cohort are its tenants.

x-operator: institution
x-operator-basis: A vendor-looking domain that resolves into the institution's own address space — the
  inverse of this pipeline's usual finding. go.wander.be resolves to 143.169.239.17, the same University
  of Antwerp RIPE allocation (netname UA, org "Universiteit Antwerpen") that serves repository.uantwerpen.be
  and anet.uantwerpen.be; all three are the same host, moto.cde.uantwerpen.be. The Wander contact address
  is "Wander, Bibliotheek & Archief UAntwerpen, Stadscampus, Venusstraat 35, 3e verdieping, 2000 Antwerpen"
  and the site's social link is the UAntwerpen Bibliotheek & Archief LinkedIn page. Only the marketing
  site www.wander.be is outsourced, to Webflow. Software the institution writes and hosts.
