Past Summer Educational Institutes

Feedback from students

“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".
