Kristin Eschenfelder is a Professor and Director at the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is also an affiliate of the Holtz Center for Science and Technology Studies, the School of Journalism and Mass Communications and a founding board member of the Wisconsin Digital Studies program.

She writes about use regimes – or the complex, multi-level networks of laws, customs, technologies and expectations that shape what information we can access in our daily lives and how we can make of it. Her recent work examines development of and changes to access and use regimes for data archives and digital scholarly works including electronic publications (journals, books, citation databases), digital cultural materials, (such as museum, archival or anthropological works) and data sets. Her past work explored web based government information and policy and management issues inherent in digital production of government information and records. She has also published in the areas of public libraries and financial literacy.
