DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Spreading Knowledge

Hey everyone,
I've been running my fort of Conflictgild since year 2, for about 35 years now. A peculiarity I've found about starting with such a short history is that no one else in the world has produced any visitors to come to my fort, and I'm guessing there are few if any scholars in other sites. I've put a few dwarves to work philosophising about funnels and levers, and have 6 books on the subjects, but I have no one to share my newfound knowledge with! So, my question is this: can I export my books to other sites or civs in any way? I can't send them to my trade depot or stockpile them in a bin, whether they're stored in the form of a scroll, quire or bound book (I made a platinum-bound one just to try it). Does anyone know a way to get my writing into a trader's wagon?
As an aside, is there any way to check up on the scholarly enterprises of other civs in the world?
