REGISTRATION TO OPEN WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1 FOR THE SUMMER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR VISUAL RESOURCES AND IMAGE MANAGEMENT TO BE OFFERED IN JUNE 2006.

The Art Libraries Society/North America (ARLIS/NA) and the Visual Resources Association (VRA) are pleased to announce that registration for the third Summer Educational Institute (SEI) for Visual Resources and Image Management will open Wednesday, February 1, 2006.

The Summer Educational Institute will be held at Reed College, in Portland, Oregon, from June 11 through June 16, 2006. It is an intensive 5-day workshop intended to provide instruction in visual resources and image collection management. ARLIS/NA and VRA have developed a special curriculum to provide intensive training in these areas--training that is often not found in library and information science degree programs. The Summer Educational Institute will be relevant for beginning visual resources professionals as well as experienced professionals requiring new skills and knowledge. Instructors will be drawn from professionals in the field of visual resources and library and information science. Tuition will be $675 for ARLIS/NA and VRA members and $725 for non-members. Reasonably priced accommodations in a Reed College dorm will also be available for approximately $36 per night.

Please see the 2006 SEI web site http://www.vraweb.org/seiweb/2006sei/index.html for further information. Registration will begin February 1. Please note that a link to the web site is available from the VRA web site. It will also be available shortly from the ARLIS/NA web site.
