Waikato Library Discovery on Ex Libris Primo VE (tenant)

The University of Waikato Library's discovery layer is a named tenancy on Ex Libris's shared Primo VE platform — waikato.primo.exlibrisgroup.com with view code vid=64WAIKATO_INST:64WAIKATO, verified live 2026-09-01, HTTP 200. The collection, the holdings and the institution view are the university's; the Primo and Alma API contracts are Ex Libris's and belong in Ex Libris's own repository, not here. Recorded as a relationship so the institution gets credit for operating a library discovery surface without being credited for Ex Libris's engineering.
