Michalis Gerolimos to Speak on Official RDA at the National Library of Greece

RSC Chair Renate Behrens is delighted that Dr Michalis Gerolimos (Head of the Cataloguing Department, National Library of Greece) has agreed to speak at the RSC's next Public Session on Tuesday 15 July 2025 at 6pm UTC (There is a handy time converter here). 

The National Library of Greece is one of the first to adopt Official RDA, and Michalis will provide an overview and an update on the presentation he and his colleagues Effie Koufakou and Sofia Zapounidou gave at EURIG 2023 on The New Cataloguing Policy of the National Library of Greece. As well as sharing general progress, he will foreground the Greek language and the cataloguing of Greek publications, which we are sure will be of interest to the many cataloguers worldwide working on these texts (Greek and Latin works forming the core of literary collections in many libraries). It will be fascinating to learn how RDA's goal of internationalization has played out in the National Library's move from AACR2. 

This is the latest in our series on Implementing Official RDA. You can find links to previous presentations and to a selection given at other meetings here.
