I'm thrilled to have taken the Digital Libraries course at Stanmore School of Business! As a librarian, I wanted to upgrade my skills to manage digital collections effectively. The course exceeded my expectations, providing me with practical knowledge on digital repository management, metadata standards, and digital preservation. The instructors were knowledgeable and supportive, and the course materials were relevant and up-to-date. I appreciated the hands-on exercises and case studies that helped me apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios. I'm now confident in my ability to design and implement a digital library that meets the needs of my community. Thank you, Stanmore School of Business, for an outstanding learning experience!

The Digital Libraries course was a great experience for me. I learned a lot about digital libraries and how to manage them. The course was well-structured and the instructors were helpful. I liked the practical exercises and the discussions with my colleagues. The course materials were good, but sometimes I felt that they were a bit too theoretical. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and I think it will help me in my future career as a digital librarian. One thing that I found really useful was the section on digital rights management - it was really interesting to learn about the different approaches to managing digital rights and how to apply them in a real-world setting.
