I am encountering more FAST users-- and I like them. Of course I fear the
OCLC hammer coming down and losing access but still trying to link its use to
our Repo project. Thanks for the encouragement
The other think-ins are say (old skool) Sears,
Genre-terms-of-erratic-ownership, MESH and - In Canada - Repetoire de
vedettes-matier et cetera et cetera..but is that more so public library?

Another way most taggers don't think in terms of LCSH is precoordinated
strings. Using FAST with auto suggest and complete might be something to
consider.

Mike, what do you mean when you say "don't think in terms of LCSH"? Is there
some other vocabulary that they think in? If LCSH is the best option, the
right interface may help them "think in terms of LCSH". For example,
auto-completion/suggestion of headings when tagging or searching might be
necessary.
