The IFLA Health and Biosciences Libraries Section, in collaboration with the IFLA Evidence for Global and Disaster Health Special Interest Group and the Health Sciences Libraries Group of the Library Association of Ireland, are co-sponsoring a satellite meeting in conjunction with the IFLA World Library & Information Congress. The theme of the meeting is:
Exploring How Open Science and Open Access Influence the Spread of Health Misinformation and Disinformation and How Librarians Can Help.
In an Inside Higher Ed article (8 November 2021), titled “As Misinformation Grows, Scholars Debate How to Improve Open Access“, Roger Schonfeld, Director for Libraries, Scholarly Communications, and Museums for Ithaka S&R, calls for librarians to take an active role to prevent misinformation in the Open Access Movement.
In response, this half-day seminar will explore the strengths of the Open Movement– e.g. potential to widely share health data and information; and its vulnerabilities– e.g. proneness to misinformation, fraud, and politicization. The seminar will also highlight how librarians and information professionals have overcome issues with open access in low-resourced areas, such as the issue of preprint quality, energy/Internet insecurity, and/or publishing in open access journals.
