Current membership in the PULMAN Network is comprehensive with representation from 26 European countries. The PULMAN approach is inclusive. Participation in the Network will be extended, initially, by establishing wider groups of activists in each country represented in the Network.

There are 3 main groups within the PULMAN Network:

• Partner Organisations
  
  The PULMAN consortium of partners is made of 18 European-based organisations primarily from the libraries sector. Partner organisations are signatories to the contract with the European Commission. The partner organisations are responsible for the development of the PULMAN Network and achieving the goals of the Network of Excellence.

• Country Co-ordinators
  
  Each of the 26 countries represented in the PULMAN Network has a named "Country Co-ordinator". Some countries in the PULMAN Network (13 countries) have "partner" organisations acting in the role of country co-ordinator. The remaining 13 countries are represented by other non-partner organisations.
  
  The role of the Country Co-ordinators is to actively involve the whole professional community concerned with public libraries, museums and archives in the activities of the PULMAN Network of Excellence. This will involve establishing a support group of active workers in each country.
  
  The Country Co-ordinators are responsible for activism, promotional, research and dissemination activities including the following.
  

  • Establishing a support country-based support group of activists

  • Making appropriate policy and cross-sectoral contacts [e.g. in the archives and museums sectors] and developing the public libraries ‘lobby’

  • Disseminating information and the results of PULMAN as widely as possible

  • Organising a National Workshop
    Providing input into the draft Digital Guidelines Manuals and organising translation of the Guidelines

  • Promoting participation in project-level, training and awareness-raising workshops and the PULMAN Policy Conference

  • Stimulating and co-ordinating contributions to PULMANweb, including updated reports on public library policies, best practice and learning initiatives in their own country

• Virtual Advisory Board (VAB)
  
  The VAB is a group of experienced and influential persons representing European and International library organisations. Their role is to act as a sounding board and quality assurance mechanism (along with the Country Co-ordinators) for the PULMAN Network. 
  
  It is envisaged that other influential and expert members will be recruited for membership on the VAB as the Network develops and expands.
