Any librarian who helps Project Mentifex (Latin for "Mind-Maker")
may reasonably expect special career-help consideration in return.

http://www.newciv.org/Mentifex/ Project Mentifex is an attempt to
create artificial intelligence (AI) both in the public domain and
for the benefit of the public domain.   Accordingly, all Mentifex
mind-theory and AI-program files are freely available but require
the aid and ministrations of librarians to achieve circulation as
befits primary memes of the Information Age.

Bona fide librarians identifiable as such who help before 2000 AD
may expect preferential treatment for access and in acquisitions.
The offer is predicated on the firm belief that while an army may
march on its stomach ideas live or die at the mercy of librarians.
