SEI Website Now Live and Chair-Elect Nomination Update

The deadline has now passed for nominations for our Chair Elect for 2012, and Emily Vigor is our sole candidate. Members will soon be receiving an online ballot to confirm Emily's nomination. Thanks, Emily, for volunteering your service.


The Website for the annual Art Libraries Society (ARLIS) and VRA sponsored Summer Educational Institute (SEI) is now live. If you are a grad student in information and library science or art history, are new to the profession of image curating, or need to update your technology and/or management skills, this is a valuable opportunity. Registration will open on January 18, 2012.


SEI 2012 will be held from June 19th to 22nd at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The intensive three and a half-day workshop will feature a curriculum that specifically addresses the requirements of today’s professional, and will include hands-on and lecture modules. Expert instructors will cover intellectual property rights, digital imaging, metadata and cataloguing, and strategic planning. There are usually a few grants offered to help with funding the trip to Michigan if you want to go but do not have the resources. Dorm rooms will be available for around $50 per night. It is held in a different location each year.
