News Reporting Credibility Information Literacy Elections Political Campaigns Librarians Library Science Information Science Interdisciplinary Approach Research Projects Democracy Library Role Trust (Psychology) Public Opinion Problem Solving Citizenship Information Sources This article surveys the library and information science (LIS) response to the problems of fake news and misinformation from the 2016 U.S. presidential election to the end of 2018, focusing on how librarians and other information professionals in the United States have articulated the problems and the paths forward for combating them.
