“…The discourse related to critical librarianship has marked the beginning of a change in the profession’s perception.

We are living in a reality in which the practices of access and use of digital information are saturated with disinformation, fake news, and hate speech that are met with no serious repercussions at either the political or the social level. Critical information literacy, as a movement of information activism with theoretical and practical components, is shown to be an opportunity to contribute to the construction of an informed and ethical society. We present an overview of critical information literacy from its origins, focusing on the educational field and professional practice. Resumen Transitamos una realidad obstaculizada por prácticas de acceso y uso de la información digital colmadas de desinformación, noticias falsas y mensajes de odio sobre los que no se actúa con contundencia ni política ni socialmente. La alfabetización informacional crítica, en su vertiente de activismo informacional con componentes teóricos y prácticos, se revela como una oportunidad para colaborar en la construcción de una ciudadanía informada y ética. Presentamos un panorama de la alfabetización informacional crítica desde sus orígenes incidiendo en el ámbito educativo y el ejercicio profesional.
