dc.description.abstractUnder the “Competencies Matters” subtheme at the IFLA 2025 symposium in Athens, this presentation highlights the National Library of Greece’s transition from AACR2 and Unimarc to IFLA LRM, official RDA, and MARC21, laying the foundation for linked data implementation. The shift required workflow redesign, new RDA application profiles, and a cultural change in cataloguing practice. Emphasis was placed on reskilling staff not only in technical areas, such as linked data, IFLA LRM, and special cataloguing cases, but also in adopting a mindset open to change. A tailored training program, Greek-language guidelines, and ongoing support ensure sustained implementation and quality control.
