The Discovery Primo VE Committee works with the CARLI staff and members to optimize the discoverability of materials in Primo VE through efficient and cost-effective best practices, documentation, and programs. The committee will promote a user-focused approach and encourage cooperation and collaboration in matters related to individual library and consortial discovery of resources, usability, and accessibility. The Discovery Primo VE Committee will collaborate with other CARLI committees and groups to discuss issues of common interest, to facilitate joint program planning, and to advocate for enhancements to the Primo VE software platform.

The committee may be assigned projects by the Governance Board or may independently develop projects and initiatives within the scope of its charge or in collaboration with other ad hoc groups. The Discovery Primo VE Committee acknowledges historical, structural, and systemic injustice, values the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and will ensure that CARLI’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is embedded in their work. The committee will identify educational and training needs within its scope of responsibility and its collaboration with other committees, and will develop workshops, seminars, webinars, or other education opportunities to meet the needs of the membership. The committee will prepare appropriate documentation and reports and will submit an annual report of its activities and accomplishments to the Board of Directors.
