This study's purpose is to systematically review the literature to identify the most recent library practices against fake news. Libraries are perceived as an important player against the fake news phenomenon. However, this role is often cornered in a positive self-perception of the work of librarians. This article investigates the tangible practices of libraries, discusses their efficiency, and provides a categorization of those practices. It was performed a systematic literature review of the last three years to retrieve the most recent library practices. After the extraction, with a final set of 27 documents, a multi-step qualitative analysis and a categorization were developed. Findings show most studies emphasize academic libraries practices and are mainly focused on information literacy instruction. The current debate is around 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, and the need to scout libraries' new routes.

The production of large volumes of scientific information, considering its cost, requires approaches that ensure its maintenance, reuse and recovery. These concerns prompted the emergence of digital curation. We intend to discuss the relevant thinking concerning the costs of digital curation. This means addressing the definition of the concept and the issue of costs, based on the studies related to cost models. A literature review was conducted using B-On and RCAAP as research sources, exploring the perceptions of the authors regarding the digital curation and its costs. The views expressed were organized around a scheme based on the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) lifecycle and the reference model Open Archival Information System (OAIS). It is proposed a systematization of digital curation issues bridging the DCC life cycle view of the digital object curation to the OAIS reference model approach, using a cross view seized by cost models and plan/data management policies.

In a world of information overload and data deluge, is opening science a research library's duty? Or is the openness of science deeply changing libraries, ultimately converting them into something else? The purpose of the review is to highlight the challenging issues stemming from the relationship between research and libraries. A broad literature analysis was performed focused on the intersection of three different perspectives: (1) the future of research libraries, (2) the emerging new roles, and (3) the ongoing openness of science. Libraries are still at the heart of science but challenged by several stakeholders within the complexity of present science production and communication. Research support services, research data management, or research information management are emerging roles, among others, sustaining an open path where libraries thrive to be more collaborative while looking forward to establishing new partnerships.

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.

Resumo: A investigação científica assenta em conhecimento científico prévio, o que torna as bibliotecas num pilar fundamental de acesso ao conhecimento e à sua criação. Este artigo procura refletir sobre a relação entre a investigação científica em Portugal e as bibliotecas, que dão acesso a uma parte nuclear dos recursos de informação, centrada em duas vertentes: (i) o posicionamento das bibliotecas como suporte da investigação científica num ambiente de oferta generalizada de informação disponível em linha e (ii) o modo como são percecionados pelos investigadores os serviços oferecidos pelas bibliotecas de investigação e universitárias em Portugal. Este trabalho assenta numa revisão da literatura seguindo a proposta cronológica de Manuel Heitor (2015) para a evolução da ciência portuguesa. Os dados apresentam dois itinerários interpretativos que giram em torno dos contributos dos profissionais de informação e da investigação universitária em Ciência da Informação. Conclui-se que não existe ainda um estudo profundo dedicado ao apoio das bibliotecas à investigação científica, havendo espaço em aberto para a prossecução de um trabalho desta natureza.Palavras-chave: Bibliotecas; Investigação científica, Portugal; Revisão da literatura Abstract: Scientific research is based on prior scientific knowledge, which makes libraries a fundamental pillar of access to knowledge and its creation. This article seeks to reflect on the relationship between scientific research in Portugal and libraries, which gives access to a core part of information resources, centered on two aspects: (i) the positioning of libraries as a support for scientific research in an environment of generalized information available online and (ii) how the services offered by research and university libraries in Portugal are perceived by researchers. This work is based on a literature review following the chronological proposal of Manuel Heitor (2015) for the evolution of Portuguese science. The data present two interpretative itineraries that revolve around the contributions of information professionals and university research in Information Science. It is concluded that there is not yet an in-depth study devoted to the support of libraries to scientific research, and there is scope to pursue this kind of work.Keywords: Libraries; Scientific Research, Portugal; Literature review IntroduçãoDado que a investigação científica é inseparável do universo da informação, tem sido estudado, no âmbito da Ciência da Informação, o papel que a informação desempenha nos modos de fazer e comunicar a ciência (BORGES, 2006). A experiência acumulada na organização da informação científica revela que as bibliotecas (universitárias, de investigação, especializadas) têm sido fundamentais no desenvolvimento de sistemas de resposta às necessidades dos produtores e dos consumidores da informação. Nesse sentido, constituíram-se há várias décadas como subsistemas de suporte da ciência com uma oferta alargada de produtos e serviços (WILSON, 1933).No entanto, nos últimos 40 anos...
