GBAs a librarian working in a UK university, I found the Professional Certificate in Academic Libraries at Stanmore School of Business incredibly valuable. The course helped me develop a deeper understanding of the issues and trends shaping academic libraries, and I gained practical skills in areas like collection development, information literacy, and user services. The course materials were well-organised, informative, and easy to follow, and I particularly appreciated the opportunity to connect with other professionals in the field. My only suggestion for improvement would be to include more interactive activities and discussions to foster greater engagement and community building.
