I recently completed the Collection Development course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say that it was a thoroughly detailed and comprehensive learning experience. As a librarian from Denmark, I was looking for a course that would provide me with a deep understanding of the principles and practices of collection development. The course did not disappoint, with its in-depth examination of topics such as collection analysis, budgeting, and community outreach. I appreciated the emphasis on evidence-based practice and the use of data to inform collection development decisions. The course materials were of high quality, with detailed examples and case studies that illustrated key concepts. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more international perspectives and examples, as the course was somewhat biased towards North American contexts. Nonetheless, I would recommend this course to anyone seeking a rigorous and detailed introduction to collection development.
