As a librarian in the UK, I found Stanmore's Certificate in Library Management incredibly useful. The course covered essential aspects of library management, such as budgeting, policy-making, and digital resource management. It's great to see how these concepts apply to my day-to-day work. I particularly enjoyed the sections on library marketing and advocacy, which provided me with fresh ideas to promote our library services. Although some modules could benefit from more in-depth explanations, I'm still pleased with the overall quality and relevance of the course materials. Highly recommended!
