Hello. My name is Rob Morrison and I serve as a "blended" Librarian at
National-Louis University's Chicago Campus, providing instruction services for
students and faculty in-person, on-line and at off-campus sites. My "home"
campus is located in downtown Chicago, across from the Art Institute at 122 S. Michigan
Ave. I am the primary facilitator for NLU's Digital Commons repository called OASIS. 

I just finished my dissertation at NLU in Adult & Continuing Education:
"Culturally-Relevant Information Litreacy: A Case Study" and graduate in June
of 09. 

I am also developing "critical information literacy" that blends Critical
Theory with information literacy and knowledge production.
