    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
    Describes the European Commission's OPAC Network in Europe (ONE) project which attempts to make it simpler to search a number of major European OPACs crossing all frontiers via online interface. Explains how this is done and the British Library's involvement in it, assessment of the project and plans for the future

    Abstract
    Reviews the development of the British Library OPAC services leading up to the launch of OPAC 97, offering access to 9 mio bibliographic records and attempts to show the value of a user centred approach in the project management involved in developing such a service as recommended by Human Computer Interaction (HCI) studies. Reviews the evaluation studies of the Online Catalogue, the Network OPAC, a web prototype interface and of OPAC 97 and discusses the results in relation to the OPAC 97 project. Although the OPAC 97 interface made use of various HCI recommendations, user feedback sometimes contradicted these in specific instances, revealing the value of detailed user evaluation in developing services

    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
    The British Library is currently progressing several projects involving Z39.50 and SR standards. The Network OPAC trial service is being extended for a further year and the user base broadened. Future applications of Z39.50 currently being investigated include access from Z39.50 clients developed by other suppliers; a virtual database to cover all the library's diverse catalogues; and a national distributed bibliographic database
