Like the term--and some great books are being batcherized. Misha On 8/8/2011 8:39 AM, Scott Rains wrote:
"BTC" is our in-house shorthand meaning "books that have gone through our batchecizer."Yes, we do love to make up entertaining new words. We're book people after all. The batchecizer is a simple bit of automation used after scanning to standardize the books we provide to new volunteers. It strips out some typical format scannos so that new volunteers are not faced with them. We reserve them for new volunteers. A new volunteer is anyone who has yet to successfully complete three scans or proofs. So BTC books is where new volunteers get their first three books if they are going to be proofreaders.Scott Rains From: Kim Friedman <kimfri11@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:kimfri11@xxxxxxxxxxx>>Reply-To: "bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>" <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>>Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2011 07:12:00 -0700To: "bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>" <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>>Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Puzzling Hi, Sue, I'll forward your message to Rick Costa, shall I?

They seem to be from Rick Costa. Are they for specific volunteers he is training? I just wondered if anyone could take them? I don’t want to take a book that is being held for someone else.Thanks, Sue S.
