Most enjoyable course I have ever attended
Standard of presentation extremely high, as was the quality of the material presented
Very interesting and well run course
Really enjoyed the day, thanks
Very high quality of speakers in general
Excellent overview of e-resource management.
Very helpful to get different perspectives such as budgeting and acquisition. Plenty to discuss and debate.
Training room layout was awkward; people too crowded around tables that were not facing towards speakers and screen.
Very timely and relevant. I enjoyed it very much. Very high standard
A useful and helpful day
Very enjoyable, worthwhile day
