UOW Library Discovery (Ex Libris Primo / Alma tenancy)

The UOW Library runs on the Ex Libris Alma library services platform with the Primo discovery layer, on the institution-specific tenant host uow.primo.exlibrisgroup.com (HTTP 200). Primo and Alma expose REST APIs for search, bibliographic and resource-management workflows, documented on the Ex Libris Developer Network and gated behind an institution API key. UOW publishes no developer documentation of its own for these APIs, and the specification belongs to Ex Libris, so no contract is saved here.
