I recently completed the संग्रह विकास में स्नातकोत्तर प्रमाणपत्र (Advanced) course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a great experience. The course covered a wide range of topics, from collection management to outreach and programming. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion, which is essential in today's libraries. The course materials were well-organized, and the discussions with my peers were always thought-provoking. My only suggestion would be to include more case studies from European libraries, but overall, I'm happy with the knowledge and skills I gained.
