The Art Libraries Society /North America (ARLIS/NA) and the Visual Resources Association (VRA) are pleased to announce the 2008 Summer Educational Institute for Visual Resources and Image Management, to be held at James Madison University, in Harrisonburg, Virginia, from July 7-13, 2008. Topics to be covered, broken once again into “days” include: • Metadata (Core 4.0, CCO, XML) • Cataloging (Authorities, Integrated Access, Work vs. Image) • Imaging (PowerPoint, Digital Imaging, Scanning) • Database (Databases, Interoperability, Labs and Demos) • Strategy (Intellectual Property Rights, Archiving, Funding) Instructors, covering a wide range of expertise, have been drawn from recognized professionals in the field, showcasing our colleagues. Attendees, ranging from visual resources specialists to academics to digital librarians and archivists to library school students, 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 Education Institute (SEI) is intended to provide a standardized and sustainable program for visual resources training, with a focus on issues related to digital collection management and item-level image metadata. As was true for the previous four SEIs, the 2008 class is full. The next Summer Education Institute will be held at Simmons College in Boston, Massachusetts in the summer of 2009. SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES We are actively seeking donors and sponsors for the 2008 Summer Education Institute and for future institutes. Many opportunities for named sponsorship at various levels are available, including the opening reception ($750-$1000) and daily study breaks ($125-$250). We invite all interested vendors, corporate colleagues, and contributors to visit the Summer Education Institute website http://www.vraweb.org/seiweb/index.html for a complete description of all aspects of our program and our roster of instructors, and to visit our Sponsors Page (listing past years’ sponsors), at http://www.vraweb.org/seiweb/sponsors.html.
