REGISTRATION TO OPEN MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2nd FOR THE SUMMER EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTE FOR VISUAL RESOURCES AND IMAGE MANAGEMENT TO BE OFFERED IN
JUNE 8-13, 2009.
The Art Libraries Society/North America (ARLIS/NA) and the Visual
Resources Association Foundation (VRAF) are pleased to announce that
registration for the sixth Summer Educational Institute (SEI) for Visual
Resources and Image Management will open Monday, February 2, 2009.
The Summer Educational Institute will be held at Simmons College in
Boston, Massachusetts, from June 8 through June 13, 2009. It is an
intensive 5-day workshop intended to provide instruction in visual
resources and image collection management. ARLIS/NA and the VRAF 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 is relevant for beginning visual
resources professionals as well as experienced professionals requiring
new skills and knowledge. Instructors are drawn from professionals in
the field of visual resources and library and information science.
Tuition is $675 for ARLIS/NA and VRA members and $725 for non-members.
Reasonably priced accommodations in a Simmons College dormitory are
available for $360 (single occupancy with AC). A cafeteria-style meal
plan (breakfast, lunch & dinner) is offered at $27.50 per day.
While this year's curriculum will continue to evolve over the next few
months, the basic course offerings will remain the same as they were in
2008. Information on accommodations, meal plans and registration
procedures are now available on the SEI 2009 website.
