First get a command line (this is in an Accessories folder on my start bar). Then navigate to the library folder so that its path shows on the command line. Then, assuming (for instance) that you want to deposit the titles in c:\temp\nookbooks, this would be the command:

for /r %d in (*.epub) do copy "%d" c:\temp\nookepub

This can of course be used for other formats, substituting (*.pdf) or (*.mobi) or (*.az3) or whatever for (*.epub).
The CLI (calibredb) has commands that export with updated metadata.
RTFM the Comandline Interface pages for more usage parameters
