Dr Christine Madsen works at the intersection of libraries and technology. She is expert in building large-scale systems that use technology to connect researchers, teachers, and students with library and learning resources. She is interested in understanding and building the library of the future–occasionally taking inspiration from the library of the past. Her background is in digitization and digital scholarship, understanding both how to digitize and why we should.

Before co-founding A21, Christine was the Head of Digital Programmes at the Bodleian Libraries, where she was the visionary behind the digital.bodleian project, a completely new, sustainable and scalable architecture for delivering collections online.
