    Abstract
    The constantly changing metadata landscape means that libraries need to re-think their approach to standards and subject analysis, to enable the discovery of vast areas of both print and digital content. This article presents a case study from the British Library that assesses the feasibility of adopting FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology) to selectively extend the scope of subject indexing of current and legacy content, or implement FAST as a replacement for all LCSH in current cataloging workflows.

    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.

    Abstract
    Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) has been used to classify books according to their topic since the end of the 19th century. Over the last 100 years the profession of librarianship has changed significantly, and the standards, systems and organisation of access have developed accordingly. Amongst this change DDC has grown as an international classification standard. The notation is language free and machine-friendly and as a result DDC is increasingly used in many ways that Melvil Dewey would barely have conceived. Recently, the British Library (BL) looked at DDC as a tool to aid the automated collection analysis and as an associated project will consider the breadth of coverage of DDC and how wider application of DDC to BL collections can be achieved within existing resources.
