GREAT NEWS! Only two weeks into open registration and THE SUMMER
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR VISUAL RESOURCES AND IMAGE MANAGEMENT 2008 has
already registered half the class! While registration is not scheduled
to close until April, it appears that we may be filled long before that
date. So if you were planning to attend, but were thinking about
waiting, I would reconsider because we will close registration once we
reach our maximum of 45 registrants. If you have any questions just
contact us, we will be happy to assist you.

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR THE SUMMER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR VISUAL
RESOURCES AND IMAGE MANAGEMENT TO BE OFFERED IN JULY 2008.
The Art Libraries Society/North America (ARLIS/NA) and the Visual
Resources Association (VRA) are pleased to announce that registration
for the fifth Summer Educational Institute (SEI) for Visual Resources
and Image Management is now open.
The 2008 Summer Educational Institute will be held at James Madison
University in Harrisonburg, VA, from July 7 through July 13, 2008. 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 James Madison University dorm will be available for
approximately $31 a night with A/C. A cafeteria-style meal plan will
also be offered at approximately $22 per day.
While the curriculum will continue to evolve, the basic course offerings
will remain the same. Information on instructors, syllabus,
accommodations, and registration procedures will be available on our
website soon. Until the SEI 2008 website is available you can still
reference the SEI 2007 site at
