English abstract

Fighting disinformation from academic libraries The potential role of university libraries in raising awareness about fake news and its problems is addressed. For this, a study that allows to know the current work and actions developed by the Spanish university libraries regarding this phenomenon was carried out. A questionnaire was sent to the 75 public and private universities in Spain. The response rate was 56%. The results show concern about the phenomenon of disinformation in higher education and highlight the necessary role of libraries as infomediarian agents. This study is an approximation based on data on the current relationship between university libraries and the phenomenon of post-truth in the Spanish library framework.
