SEI Pro 2010: ARLIS/NA- VRAF Summer Educational Institute for Visual
Resources and Image Management
In the current climate of abrupt organizational change and widespread
financial cutbacks, many Visual Resource professionals are realizing
that they need to broaden their expertise and re-focus their activities
and services in order to survive and thrive in an ever- evolving
technological landscape. In response to the current climate this year’s
SEI Pro 2010 is designed to serve those with more advanced experience
who need to acquire new skills and expertise. SEI Pro 2010 is also
targeted at anyone who needs an intense, rapid introduction to managing
image or digital asset collections and we encourage participation. The
SEI Pro 2010 will be held at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque
from June 9 to June 12, 2010.
Most Library and Information Science programs offer coursework related
to digital libraries and archives, however they do not often include
image resources as a specialization. This Summer Educational Institute
for Visual Resources and Image Management (SEI), jointly sponsored by
the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) and Visual
Resources Association Foundation (VRAF) is intended to address the needs
of image and digital collection professionals by providing a
standardized and sustainable program for image resource acquisition,
description, management, and use.
Librarians and information professionals are now being asked to step up
and take on new responsibilities including digital image and asset
management. If these circumstances describe your situation, SEI Pro 2010
is for you!
SEI Pro 2010 has been designed to build on the core competencies
acquired in previous Summer Educational Institutes, and to offer more
advanced instruction to aid participants in acquiring the technological
skills they need to meet the rapidly changing requirements of the
profession.
The SEI Pro 2010 is open to professionals, para-professionals, and
graduate level students in visual resources, library science, the visual
arts and related humanities fields, museum studies, and other image
information disciplines, including:
• librarians or information professionals with new or added
responsibilities to manage image or digital collections;
• visual resources professionals and art librarians wanting to update
their knowledge of current practices;
• other individuals currently in the profession who need more advanced
training.
Participants will receive a dated Certificate of Completion, signed by
the president and/or director of the ARLIS/NA and VRAF. Watch for
