    (2021-10-01) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA); Fontanin, Matilde; Panattoni, Devid
    With fighting misinformation around COVID-19 a key part of the overall response to the pandemic, libraries have the reputation and the skills to make an important contribution. IFLA has produced a COVID-19 edition of our popular How To Spot Fake News infographic, with a stronger focus on some of the issues encountered around the pandemic – especially the need to check with other sources – and recognition of the fact that much news today spreads through conversations on social media. We hope it proves useful for you in your efforts to help promote media and information literacy, and to stop the spread of the virus.

    IFLA Journal. December 2024
    (SAGE, 2024-12-17) Bossaller, Jenny; Aparac-Jelušić, Tatjana; Lor, Peter Johan; Boyd Rayward, Warden; Carroll, Mary; Garrison, Kasey; Oddone, Kay; Wakeling, Simon; Castellucci, Paola; Fontanin, Matilde; Vincenti, Raffaella; Schachter, Debbie; Millward, Debbie; Garret, Jeffrey; Prado, Jorge Moisés Kroll do; Inoue, Yasuyo; Witt, Steve
    This special issue, dedicated to library history, draws upon papers presented at the August 2023 IFLA Library History Special Interest Group (SIG) satellite meeting in Mons, Belgium titled “Preserving our origins: Approaches to the organization, curation, and historiography of the record of national and international organizations in libraries, information, and documentation” along with general submissions to the journal that aligned well with the issue’s theme. The discussions presented at the Library History meeting in Mons emphasised the importance of capturing both celebrated and overlooked aspects of the record-keeping processes of library associations, as well as key themes relevant to library history more generally. To facilitate a more coherent understanding, the articles presented can be organized into three distinct categories: Archival Practices and Institutional Memory, International Collaboration and the Role of Libraries in Global Information Systems, and Libraries as Cultural Institutions.

    Riconoscere le fake news
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2020-07) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA); Fontanin, Matilde
    Critical thinking is a key skill in media and information literacy, and the mission of libraries is to educate and advocate its importance. Discussions about fake news has led to a new focus on media literacy more broadly, and the role of libraries and other education institutions in providing this. When Oxford Dictionaries announced post-truth was Word of the Year 2016, we as librarians realise action is needed to educate and advocate for critical thinking – a crucial skill when navigating the information society. IFLA has made this infographic with eight simple steps (based on FactCheck.org’s 2016 article How to Spot Fake News) to discover the verifiability of a given news-piece in front of you. Download, print, translate, and share – at home, at your library, in your local community, and on social media networks. The more we crowdsource our wisdom, the wiser the world becomes.
