Sponsors Sought for ARLIS/NA-VRA 2005 Summer Educational Institute
The Art
Libraries Society /North America (ARLIS/NA) and the Visual Resources Association
(VRA) are pleased to announce the 2005 Summer Educational Institute for Visual
Resources and Image Management, to be held at
This year, the expanded five-day program
will include:
General Visual Resources and
Administration
Cataloging and Organization
Collection management (Analog and
Digital)
Intellectual Property Issues
Digital Transition Strategies
Integrating Analog and Digital Image
Management
Management of Digitizing Projects
VR and Museums and Libraries
Demonstration and Information Sessions
Instructors,
covering a wide range of expertise, are being drawn from recognized
professionals in the field.
Attendees, ranging from experienced analog collection managers to new
library science graduates, will receive certification of attendance and
completion from our parent organizations. As most library and information
science programs do not address the needs of image collection professionals, the
ARLIS/NA -VRA Summer Educational Institute is intended to provide a standardized
and sustainable program for visual resources training, with a focus on issues
related to the transition from analog to digital collections. The 2005 class has 45 participants, with
a waitlist. Proposals are being
considered for the 2006 and 2007 institutes.
