        Kerre A. Kammerer
        Consulting Software Engineer
        <p>I am currently working on the <a href="../projects/fast/default.htm">Faceted Application of Subject Terminology</a> (<acronym title="Faceted Application of Subject Terminology">FAST</acronym>) project, specifically developing a file of authorized Geographic Headings. The object of the FAST project is to develop a new subject heading schema based on <acronym title="Library of Congress Subject Headings">LCSH</acronym> which is suitable for metadata, yet easier than LCSH to use, understand and maintain. The first phase of FAST will result in an initial file of Topical, Geographic and Form headings.</p>
    <p>I also work with the <acronym title="Interlibrary Loan">ILL</acronym> research team to monitor ILL usage and analyze trends in ILL activity. Our latest research looked at the relationship between the frequency of ILL requests and the publication date of the periodical.</p>
    <p>Prior to transferring to OCLC Research I worked in OCLC's Development Division as part of the <acronym title="Cooperative Online Resource Catalog">CORC</acronym> development team, as part of the Arabic Cataloging development team and as part of the Authority Control Service development team.</p>
