Unika Library Discovery (Ex Libris Primo VE tenancy)

Unika is the university library's discovery layer, an Ex Libris Primo VE tenancy. Primo's public "primaws" REST interface answers unauthenticated JSON search requests against the institution's own view — confirmed live on 2026-09-01 — which makes the catalog machine-queryable even though no institutional API is documented. The contract belongs to Ex Libris and is deliberately not saved under this institution.
