mapFAST is a project of OCLC Research.
This prototype interface was developed to show the access opportunities created by using the fully enumerative faceted FAST subject headings. Read more here.
Learn more about the FAST project.
The FAST authority file was developed jointly by OCLC and the Library of Congress and is available online to support FAST applications and allow potential users and other interested parties to view the FAST authority records.
The most recent update for FAST was 3/27/2013. The FAST database will be updated periodically. Our target is to update FAST at least twice each year.
