    theses, delivered on the Ex Libris Primo/Esploro discovery platform. Historically the repository exposed an OAI-PMH harvesting
    interface for metadata; the legacy endpoint now redirects into the Primo discovery layer and no current public, documented
    API endpoint could be independently confirmed during this review.
