I recently completed the Library Management course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say that it was a thoroughly enjoyable and enriching experience. As a library administrator in Denmark, I was looking to update my knowledge of library management principles and practices. The course covered a wide range of topics, from library planning and policy development to marketing and advocacy. I appreciated the detailed examples and case studies, which helped to illustrate the concepts and make them more relatable. The instructors were knowledgeable and responsive, and the course materials were well-organized and easy to follow. One area for improvement might be to include more examples from European libraries, but overall, I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others looking to improve their library management skills.
