The purpose of this study is to examine the concept and definition of fake news focusing on misinformation/false information and is to examine the ways in which our society can respond to the distortion of social reality and damage to democracy caused by information distortion such as fake news. To do this, the concept of fake news was examined based on the level of facticity and intention to device, and our social environment in which fake news was created and spread was examined from the perspective of datafication. In this environment, the library community, which plays a pivotal role in human access to and use of information, argued that it should strive to establish and provide universal literacy education in order to realize the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 agenda. The core of universal literacy education is to understand the society by investigating and analyzing data communication types according to the degree of datafication and the political, economic, social, and cultural background of society. For this reason, it was concluded that universal literacy should be implemented flexibly according to the degree of datafiation and users of each society. 키워드: 지속가능한 도서관, 가짜뉴스, 보편적 리터러시, 데이터리터러시, 디지털리터러시 Sustainable Libraries, Fake News, Universal Literacy, Data Literacy, Digital Literacy * ** 이 논문은 2020학년도 서울여자대학교 교내연구비의 지원을 받았음(2020-0215). 서울여자대학교 사회과학대학 문헌정보학과 교수(jmlee@swu.ac.kr / ISNI 0000 0004 6832 5178) 논문접수일자: 2021년 1월 27일 최초심사일자: 2021년 2월 4일 게재확정일자: 2021년 2월 15일 한국문헌정보학회지, 55(1): 85-106, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.4275/KSLIS.2021.55.1.085 86 한국문헌정보학회지 제55권 제1호 2021
