Brazil - Information Matters

Information literacy has become a serious focus in scientific research and political advocacy within Brazilian Librarianship and Information Science. Since the early 2000s, Brazil has come a long way: it shifted from a simple, user education approach to studies about critical thinking, multiple perspectives, and real social commitment. Shaped by real challenges such as regional inequalities, political turbulence, and the rush to go digital, Brazilian research can’t be separated from social justice, fixing education, and keeping democracy strong.
