Good afternoon colleagues,
All this week we are featuring testimonials from SEI graduates. Today we feature Sarah Gillis.
Sarah attended SEI in 2013 and is currently the Assistant Registrar for Image Management at the Worcester Art Museum. Speaking to the importance of SEI as a museum professional, here's what Sarah has to say:
"SEI is a great resource for all professionals who work with digital assets. As a museum professional, I found it critical to establish relationships with the academic and other cultural institutions who rely on the digital assets museums oversee. The sessions pertaining to copyright and metadata incredibly beneficial--these are factors which I deal with on a daily basis. The networking opportunities are priceless and a great getaway to live and breathe visual resources for five days!"
Who do you know that might enjoy SEI 2015? Help us spread the word about SEI by forwarding this email to a colleague that would benefit from attending this year’s workshop.
In its twelfth year as a joint program between the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) and the Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF), the Summer Educational Institute for Visual Resources and Image Management is an intensive workshop featuring a continually updated curriculum that specifically addresses the requirements of today's information professional. Expert instructors will cover the following topics:
