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.
Space is limited and registration is scheduled to end on April
15, 2009.
