PLR Advisory Committee / Management Board

The PLR Advisory Committee, first set up in 1982 to advise the Registrar and government Ministers on the drafting and subsequent running of the PLR Scheme, had its last meeting in November 2008. The Committee is being replaced by a smaller Board appointed by the Registrar to advise him on the operation and future development of PLR.  The Board will consist of an author, a librarian, a publishing specialist and someone with experience of managing a government-funded body. The new Board will work with the Registrar in assessing the potential impact of developments like ebooks on PLR and public libraries.  The Board will also be keen to hear from authors with views on the Scheme and its administration by the PLR office. Any views may be communicated to the Registrar by completing our Feedback Form for passing on to the Board which is likely to have its first meeting in the spring of 2009.
