[DCRM-L] ESTC and the revision of SCF

[Deborah J. Leslie]

I can confirm this. I'm try to avoid acronyms when speaking to
non-librarians, and a number of times I've mentioned the "English
Short-Title-Catalogue" only to have to explain that I mean the ESTC.

I agree that "ESTC" is fine. If it's like other acronyms, I suspect 
that a lot of scholars know the acronym but don't actually remember 
what it stands for, only that it's useful to them.
