Pratt Institute, School of Information & Library Science is pleased to announce its 5th Summer Institute in Florence, "Florentine Art & Culture, Research and Documentation," a 3-credit, 3-week course, May 26-June 13, 2008. We are now accepting applications. This year's Florence program promises to be more exciting than ever owing to a number of new aspects that enrich and broaden the student experience. The course will be taught by Professor Anthony Caradonna, distinguished faculty of Pratt's School of Architecture and of its long-established Rome program, working with Prof. Giannini, Dean of Pratt-SILS. Now, as an interdisciplinary course, we are collaborating with Pratt's School of Architecture brought together by the broad program theme, "I-ARTE" (Information, Art, Research, Technology and Education). Students have the option of a 3-day trip to Rome guided by Prof. Caradonna and a 2-day trip to Bologna, historic city of learning, art and libraries and universities. We invite applications from graduate students in LIS, art and architecture, history of art, library and museum professionals and art educators. Please visit the Florence Web site for detailed information and an application form. http://pratt.edu/~lis-dean/Florence.html Tula Giannini, PhD, MLS, MM Dean, Pratt-SILS 144 West 14th Street 6th floor New York, New York 10011 212-647-7682 [log in to unmask] http://pratt.edu/~giannini __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask]
