The first I have heard of  the Distributed Geolibraries Workshop,
National Research Council, Washington DC, 15-16 June 98.
 
I just wrote a flip response to this, (which I erased).  It was so easy,
(to write and erase).  It is a shame that "real time" geolibrarians who
work with spatial information, digital and/or paper and with users, real
and/or virtual couldn't have been invited.  There are enough map
librarians that could have provided some content.  Actually, I'm also
surprised to not see any NSDI representative.
