Comments from former students

• Through conversations with professional colleagues I feel CSU qualifications have me better equipped for the work force than other university library qualifications.

• This course was life changing for me in terms of self esteem, confidence, assertiveness. I now feel that I can speak with some degree of authority on library and related matters.
