FAST Vocabulary Implementation Survey from FPOC

  • 1.  FAST Vocabulary Implementation Survey from FPOC

    Posted Mar 04, 2021 08:13 AM
    On behalf of the FAST Policy and Outreach Committee (FPOC), we want to bring your attention to a survey intended to gather statistics and information about how institutions make use of the FAST Vocabulary.
    To follow up from the October 2020 FAST Webinar, the Fast Policy and Outreach Committee (FPOC) determined that casting a net to determine usage and extent of FAST implementation by GLAM (Galleries, Archives, Archives, Museums) institutions of all types, large, small, or special, would be helpful to better understand the landscape of FAST adoption and to perhaps update some of the FAST FAQs.
    Please click here (https://forms.gle/RPXfhJDEmBoZCxE37) to go to the survey and here to read more about FAST and FPOC. 

    Let me know if you have any questions
     
    Thank you for your consideration
