Before you head off to Indianapolis, it's time to let you know that
there are still a few places available for the ARLIS/NA - VRAF SUMMER
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR VISUAL RESOURCES AND IMAGE MANAGEMENT and
registration ends April 15th 2009. So If you were thinking about sending
your assistant(s) or of attending yourself, it's time to secure those
registrations before the class is full!
The Summer Educational Institute (SEI) 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. The Art Libraries Society of
North American (ARLIS/NA) and the Visual Resources Association
Foundation (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. A
certificate, signed by the President of ARLIS/NA and the Director of the
VRAF will be awarded upon successful completion of the institute.
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) for the 5 days and a
cafeteria-style meal plan (breakfast, lunch & dinner) is offered at
$27.50 per day.
Information on the curriculum, accommodations, meal plans and
registration procedures is available on the SEI 2009 website.
<http://www.vrafoundation.org/sei2009/index.html> Space is limited and
registration is scheduled to end on April 15, 2009.
