Introduction: Resource Description and Access (RDA) are guidelines that guide the creation of metadata for information resources available in libraries' online catalogs. It is understood that developing strategies to manage the implementation of the RDA facilitates the process and motivates the library community to adopt the new standard. Objective: present the relevant aspects that can contribute to the management of RDA implementation in libraries. Methodolog: Bibliographic research with a qualitative approach, using the Portal Capes databases, Scopus Elsevier, Brapci, BDTD, OasisBr and used content analysis as a technique Bardin (2011). Result: presentation of aspects considered relevant in categories: (1) Human and financial resources; (2) RDA Toolkit; (3) RDA training; (4) Cataloging procedures: decisions, policies and documentation; (5) Preparation of library management system; (6) Technological supports and tools. Conclusion: The implementation of RDA in libraries involves innovations, opportunities and challenges. The library innovates by aligning itself with the contemporary practices of other libraries, facilitating data exchange during cataloging, preparing it for a future with linked data. It is considered an opportunity to train professionals in cataloging, improve services, such as updating documentation and strengthening authority control. Challenges include implementation costs, the need to translate the RDA Toolkit, the effective development of staff training and cataloging policies, and the preparation of the library management system. Overcoming these challenges will require coordinated efforts and solid strategies to ensure a smooth and successful transition to the RDA.
