Bailey's lemma is a powerful tool used by many to prove Rogers-Ramanujan-type identities. Will give a brief history of how this famous lemma has been useful in proving so many famous q-series identities. Then show how this lemma is also used to prove some Rogers-Ramanujan-type identities coming from connecting minimal models with characters of superconformal algebras. Interested reader should refer to "Non-unitary minimal models, Bailey's lemma and N=1,2 superconformal algebras" by Deka, Schilling, (math-ph/0412084).
