Abstract
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and infodemic has seen a proliferation of myths, fake news, tirades, and diatribes, thus complicating and undermining the global efforts to counter the COVID-19 pandemic and infodemic. This chapter seeks to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic and infodemic can be confronted using a multi-pronged approach that includes library and information science practitioners educators and other key stakeholders. The researcher uses a qualitative research design based on literature review of primary and secondary sources in order to answer the key research questions. The chapter seeks to provoke discourse, generate a corpus knowledge, and stimulate further research on issues that are overlooked in a number of studies on the COVID-19 pandemic within the information science matrix.
