While The Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) is perhaps
the best known bibliographic control system in existence, it is
cumbersome and not always user friendly. Faceted Application of
Subject Terminology (or FAST) is designed to rework LCSH's
authority rules, so that they are easier to use, understand, and
apply. The result is a schema designed to handle a large volume of
materials with less effort and cost. To this end, two members of
the original design team have put together numerous examples of
FAST-driven projects including traditional monographs, special
collections (archives, business records), electronic resources, and
websites. The result is a prototype designed to be used not just by
experienced catalogers but people with minimal training and
experience.
