FAST Funnel
The FAST Funnel Project was established to provide a route for new and changed terms to be proposed via SACO (Subject Authority Cooperative Program) for LCSH and other LC vocabularies, allowing those terms to also become part of FAST once accepted by the Library of Congress. Any FAST user may propose a term via the FAST Funnel. See the proposal form or send an email to the Funnel coordinators with your proposal. Note that this is not a route to directly change FAST, but to change LC vocabularies.For comments on searchFAST contact the FAST Team
