If you have been thinking about attending, don’t let
this opportunity pass you by! With only seven (7) seats still open,
registration for the Art Libraries Society/North America (ARLIS/NA) and the
Visual Resources Association Foundation’s (VRAF) sixth Summer Educational
Institute (SEI) for Visual Resources and Image Management is nearly full and
scheduled to close on April 15th at midnight.
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.
