Abstract
Abstract This article provides an update on progress since the partial roll-out of FAST in 2015 at the British Library. It discusses developments to the product and the provision of community interaction with FAST via a FAST funnel, ensuring the vocabulary is robust and flexible enough to meet the continued needs of Legal Deposit workflows. It describes the planning and implementation methods used in rolling out FAST to the majority of cataloging workflows at the British Library leading to extensive training over the autumn of 2022.
