I took the Undergraduate Certificate in Library Advocacy at Stanmore School of Business and it was a really great experience. I learned a lot about how to promote libraries and get more people involved in them. The course was pretty well-organized and the teachers were nice. I liked the part about social media marketing the most, it was super helpful for my project. I also liked the discussions we had with other students, it was cool to see what they were doing in their libraries. The materials were okay, some of it was a bit boring but overall it was good. I'd recommend this course to others who want to learn about library advocacy.
