Resumo: 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.

Resultados prévios mostraram que a maioria dos estudos enfatiza as práticas das bibliotecas do ensino superior e estão principalmente centrados na formação em literacia da informação. Este artigo atualiza uma investigação anterior com o objetivo de reconhecer as práticas tangíveis das bibliotecas, discutir a sua eficiência, e continuar uma categorização dessas práticas. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura dos últimos 12 meses (Outubro 2020-Setembro 2021) para recuperar as práticas mais recentes das bibliotecas. Após a extração, com um conjunto final de 17 documentos, foi desenvolvida uma análise qualitativa em várias etapas e uma categorização. O debate atual continua em torno de estratégias de literacia da informação que pretendem reiterar uma avaliação das fontes baseada na autoridade versus o desafio de reconhecer uma reação emocional a notícias falsas num mundo de pós-verdade. O papel das bibliotecas está encurralado num quadro formativo, enquanto a desinformação invade vários ecossistemas de informação. O papel das bibliotecas na sociedade da pós-verdade é ainda um debate em aberto, mas existe quase um consenso de que as bibliotecas devem envolver-se em parcerias e fazer parte de uma abordagem multidisciplinar.Repositório da Universidade de LisboaRevez, JorgeCorujo, Luis2022-03-03T11:56:38Z2022-032022-03-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/51585engRevez, J., & Corujo, L.
