With the digital era going through a notable transition the last couple of years, and the focus being on the internet use via mobiles and the emergence of social media, communication has been crucially affected. Digitalisation and digital transformation have become widely known as terms, and have interfered in the way organisations handle their processes, network, and overall culture. Additionally, the volume of data availability and the appearance of new technologies push the organisations to adapt their strategies in a more holistic point of view and proceed with at least the digitalisation of all possible areas. Such a huge change in the organisation’s core processes implies that work distribution and HR would also be affected, as it would require the employees to acquire a new set of skills to support this change, as well as to interact more effectively under the new working conditions, setting digitalisation as a prerequisite to proceed with the digital transformation of an organisation.
This study aims to identify which emerging technologies academic libraries in Greece are familiar with, and how these technologies have impacted the library services. Additionally, it aims to recognize the levels of awareness and readiness for digital transformation in academic libraries, and the barriers according to academic librarians’ opinion.
