I recently completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Digital Libraries at Stanmore School of Business, and I'm delighted with the outcome. The course covered a broad range of topics, from digital curation to information ethics, and I gained hands-on experience with various digital library platforms. The materials were engaging and up-to-date, making it easy to grasp complex concepts. I'm now better equipped to manage digital resources and contribute to the evolving field of digital librarianship. Kudos to Stanmore for delivering a quality programme!
