I recently completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Collection Development (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say that it was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience. As a librarian in a special library in Japan, I was looking to enhance my skills in collection development and management, and this course provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices involved.
