Feedback from students    

"Being part of the digital collections department of an academic library really made many of the discussions about digital repositories, XML, digital object preservation, and shareable metadata relevant and got me to think outside my art history image box."  

“It was great! Well-organized, information-packed, with amazing instructors. Well worth my time and money.”

“I thought SEI was an extremely valuable experience for me. I had been fretting about going digital for a long time. This really helped to put things in context. It also made me realize that I actually knew more than I thought I did, which was a confidence builder. I am now working with my ITS on a small-scale digital project and applying what I've learned. Many thanks to everyone involved.”

“Since I am new to the profession, this was an exceptional way to get acquainted with the issues facing the profession. I would look forward to an advanced program with more detailed programs (advanced cataloging,
etc.).”

"I want to thank you for the great SEI. I am grateful that the VRA/ARLIS makes this opportunity available. The speakers were awesome and the JMU campus is lovely. Thanks for organizing the material in the binder. As a current student, though much of it was over my head, I learned a lot...  It is also helpful just to hear the questions and problems that "those in the know" are dealing with.  I hope to attend again in the future when I have something to apply this information to".
