Abstract
This is the fifth and final paper in a series reporting the results of a program aimed at selecting ∼1000 QSOs brighter than B J ⇒ 18.75 using machine-scanned direct and objective-prism plates from the UK Schmidt Telescope. The plate material is scanned at the Automated Plate Measuring facility. The candidate list is derived using a number of complementary selection algorithms ranging from traditional criteria, such as the presence of strong emission features, to criteria designed to select objects whose objective-prism spectra cannot be classified as normal stars, although they may possess no obvious QSO-like features. Results from three UK Schmidt Telescpe fileds in which 200 QSOs have been found are presented
