members and friends,</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=138373118-23082005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=138373118-23082005>We believe ourselves to be on the brink of
approval to purchase thesaurus software for the purpose of making our
thesauri freely available on the web. The files have already been converted and
loaded into a test database; in order to be ready to load the thesauri as soon
as possible after approval has been granted and the software purchased, we are
looking for proofreaders of the online files. The tasks won't be onerous, but
they must be done, and it is best (as we did with proofreading DCRM(B)) to give
sections to a number of people, making sure that at least two pair of eyes are
looking at each section. </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=138373118-23082005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=138373118-23082005>Bib Standards Committee members will get
their assignments (preferences for particular thesauri will be entertained), but
we welcome (invite, plead) other proofreaders to join in this task. Please
let me know if you are willing to help. </SPAN></DIV>
