I'm thoroughly impressed with the Collection Development course at Stanmore School of Business! As a librarian, I was looking to enhance my skills in curating a diverse and relevant collection for my community. This course exceeded my expectations, providing me with practical knowledge on collection development policies, vendor management, and community outreach strategies. The course materials were top-notch, and I appreciated the real-world examples and case studies that illustrated key concepts. I'm confident that the skills I gained will enable me to create a more inclusive and engaging collection for my patrons.

The Collection Development course was a great experience for me. I liked how the instructors provided a comprehensive overview of the collection development process, from needs assessment to evaluation. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, and I appreciated the discussions on diversity, equity, and inclusion in collection development. One thing that really stood out to me was the module on collection analysis - it gave me a lot of insight into how to use data to inform my collection decisions. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course, but I would have liked more opportunities for interaction with my peers.
