Dear Colleagues

Five Research Libraries - Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard and Yale -
along with OCLC colleagues have created a survey to gauge interest in the
current features of OCLC's FAST
<http://www.oclc.org/research/themes/data-science/fast.html> (Faceted
Application of Subject Terminology) and potential enhancements.  We'd like
as many responses as possible--even from those who are not using FAST!
Please share this link with anyone you know who applies subject terminology
to metadata.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Next_Steps_for_FAST

We've beta-tested the survey, and it takes 5-15 minutes to complete.

You will likely see the survey on other lists that you subscribe to. Kate
Harcourt at Columbia has volunteered to serve as coordinator for the
survey, so please direct any questions about it to her at
[log in to unmask]

The deadline for responses is *15 December 2017*.

Thank you

Kate Harcourt
