 ==== Loading OCLC FAST Records ====
-There used to be an OCLC API for loading the LC Name Authority File, and VuFind 1.x included a tool for importing records from this API; as of this writing, that service is no longer available, and the FAST names are a preferable data source.
 See the [[indexing:open_data_sources#oclc_fast|OCLC Fast]] section of the [[indexing:open_data_sources|Open Data Sources]] page for details on importing free authority records from OCLC.
