There are only 15 openings left at THE SUMMER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR VISUAL RESOURCES AND IMAGE MANAGEMENT 2008!  While registration is not scheduled to close until April, it appears that we may be filled long before that date and 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.

 

The SEI 2008 website is now available at http://www.vraweb.org/seiweb/index.html .  While the curriculum will continue to evolve, the basic course offerings will remain the same as SEI 2007. Curriculum updates and information on specific instructors, as well as housing and meal plan registration, will be available on the website by April 1st.

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.
