We are in the process of compiling a large catalogue of faint (B < 20.9 mag), UVX selected QSOs with complete spectroscopic identification using the fibre optic (FOCAP) system at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. From the 220 QSOs thus far identified we find that QSO evolution is most simply parameterised by a uniform increase in luminosity towards higher redshifts. We also find evidence for strong QSO clustering at scales < 10h−1 Mpc.
