English abstract

Analysis of post-truth and, especially, of the underlying phenomenon of fake news in terms of evaluation and ability to identify reliable sources, and the role of libraries as infomediaries. The main international initiatives proposed by organizations such as IFLA and ALA are discussed. According to the bibliography reviewed, two main kinds of action are proposed: inclusion in informational literacy programs, mainly extending media literacy so that they are oriented from a more civic perspective; and content curation, making thematic guides that are a point of information about the phenomenon and its tools to verify facts. Libraries should act also as a gateway to disseminate information of the library’s collection.

Spanish abstract

Análisis de la posverdad y, especialmente, del fenómeno subyacente de las fake news (noticias falsas) en lo que atañe a la evaluación y capacidad para identificar fuentes fiables y el papel de las bibliotecas como infomediarias. Se revisan las principales iniciativas internacionales propuestas por organismos como la IFLA o la ALA y se proponen, a tenor de la bibliografía consultada, dos principales vías de actuación: la inclusión en programas de alfabetización informacional, principalmente ampliando las alfabetizaciones mediáticas para que estén orientadas desde una perspectiva más cívica; y la curación de contenidos, realizando guías temáticas que sean un punto de información sobre el fenómeno y sus herramientas de verificación de hechos, pero que también actúen de pasarela para difundir información propia de la colección de la biblioteca.
