Abstract

This study’s purpose is to systematically review the literature to identify the most recent library practices against fake news. Previous findings showed most studies emphasize academic libraries practices and are mainly focused on information literacy instruction. This article updates prior research aiming to acknowledge the tangible practices of libraries, discuss their efficiency, and continue a categorization of those practices. It was performed a systematic literature review of the last 12 months (October 2020-September 2021) to retrieve the most recent library practices. After the extraction, with a final set of 17 documents, a multi-step qualitative analysis, and a categorization were developed. The current debate is still around information literacy strategies that intend to reiterate an authority-based source evaluation versus the challenge to recognize an emotional-based reaction to fake news in a post-truth world. The role of libraries is cornered in an instructional framework, while disinformation is pervasive in several information ecosystems. The role of libraries in a Post-truth society is still an open debate, yet there is almost a consensus that libraries should engage in partnerships and be part of a multidisciplinary approach.

信息、虚假信息和假新闻

本研究的目的是系统地回顾文献，以确定图书馆最近针对假新闻的做法。先前的研究结果表明，大多数研究强调学术图书馆的实践，主要关注信息素养教学。本文更新了先前的研究，旨在承认图书馆的实际做法，讨论其效率，并继续对这些做法进行分类。对过去12个月（2020年10月至2021年9月）进行了系统的文献综述，以检索最新的图书馆实践。提取后，最后一组17份文件，进行了多步骤定性分析和分类。目前的辩论仍然围绕着信息素养策略展开，这些策略旨在重申基于权威的来源评估，而不是在后真相世界中识别对假新闻的基于情感的反应。图书馆的作用被困在教学框架中，而虚假信息在几个信息生态系统中普遍存在。图书馆在后真相社会中的作用仍然是一个公开的辩论，但人们几乎一致认为，图书馆应该建立伙伴关系，并成为多学科方法的一部分。
