I took the Collection Development course at Stanmore School of Business as part of my professional development, and I must say it was a detailed and informative course. The instructor provided a thorough overview of the collection development process, including the importance of community needs assessment, collection analysis, and policy development. I appreciated the emphasis on the practical aspects of collection development, such as how to develop a collection budget and manage vendor relationships. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, and I liked the fact that the instructor provided feedback on our assignments and discussions. One area for improvement could be the addition of more case studies from diverse contexts, but overall, I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others in the field.
