3.  Open Source  Greater control over Indexing Decisions  Greater control over User Experience  Fits within our larger Discovery and Access Initiative  Co-indexing local digital collection metadata  Co-indexing third party content, e.g. Hathitrust DOAB BLACKLIGHT CATALOG

12. September 9 th, 2013- Cornell contacts OCLC about 2001 publication September 2013- OCLC Announces project to enhance WorldCat db with FAST headings December 11-12, 2013- ALCTS eforum, OCLC offers to partner with a library to convert their LCSH. Cornell requests service. Spring 2014- OCLC and Cornell test Batch Conversions of Cornell Records Spring 2014- OCLC and Cornell discuss feedback on problematic mappings Spring 2014- OCLC and Cornell strategize methods for extending FAST Near Future- Merge FAST headings into Cornell MARC records PARTNERING WITH OCLC

13.  Pilot began February 2014  7 catalogers currently participating  For minimal-level cataloging only (25% of our original output)  Replaces use of uncontrolled 653  Currently using http://fast.oclc.org/searchfast/http://fast.oclc.org/searchfast/ CATALOGING WITH FAST

14. SEARCHFAST

16.  FAST vs LCSH  Introductory presentation  Characteristics of FAST  Strengths and weaknesses  Cheat sheet  FAST “mindset” CATALOGING WITH FAST

17.  Use what you find (all headings established)  Subjects do not cross facets  Observe distinction between topical and genre/form facets  Fewer application rules No constraints on combinations of topical and geographical terms Order of headings is not significant  Dates can be whatever you need to assign. KEY TRAINING POINTS

18. DATES

19.  Unestablished headings  Problematical mappings  Missing references (e.g. vernacular)  Scope notes  Event headings VOCABULARY ISSUES

20. Extensions  Not in LCNAF: 600 17 |a Folsom, Steven |2 fast/NIC  In LCNAF but not in FAST: 600 17 |a Childress, Eric |a fast/naf |0 (DLC)no2005043559  Legal but not explicitly established in LCSH: 650 _7 |a Elephants |x Weight |2 fast/lcsh Headings in our conversion project that failed to validate against FAST will be given similar treatment. WHAT HAPPENS IF A HEADING IS NOT IN FAST?

21. PROBLEMATICAL MAPPINGS

22.  Relations [countries]  International relations  Relations [religions]  Interfaith religions  Foreign relations  Diplomatic relations  Foreign economic relations  International economic relations  Military relations  Military relations “RELATIONS” – OCLC SOLUTION

24.  About 450 records in first 3 months  Unit time about 50% higher than minimal-level cataloging  Well-accepted by catalogers  Further steps  Maintenance  Improvements to editing environment (maybe)  The Elephant in the Room STATE OF PLAY: CATALOGING

25.  Add valid FAST headings and local extensions to records  For names not in LCNAF, add $2 fast/NIC  Recode $x subdivisions to $v if they match a current $v subdivision, in LC cataloged records created pre- 2000 and all non-LC cataloged records. (Hoping this to be a little more nuanced.)  Retain original LCSH headings in the records FINALIZING BATCH PROCESSING AND MERGE

26.  Vocabularies for faceting  Most likely to only use |2 fast, |2 fast/NIC, and |2 fast/naf  Could conditionally use $2 naf if there are no FAST headings since the literals would converge  Conditional logic for item record display  Likely to supress FAST from item view if LC authorities are available.

29.  Assessment  Workflow… Is it fast enough?  Do mappings need tweaking?  Is genre data good enough to parse out from topical?  Digital collection use of FAST  Legacy metadata… Convert or infer?  New Digital Collections… use FAST as vocabulary or map? OUTSTANDING ISSUES

30.  Still working out the details, but:  OCLC will supply report of changed headings  IDs should greatly facilitate automation  OCLC master record updates  Not restricted to ILS data MAINTENANCE
