abstract: Disruptive era not only gave birth to "disturbances" and changes in the business
world, but also affected various aspects of life. One of the "disturbed" fields is the field of
information in a form that is difficult to monitor and or control. The difficulties are mainly
due to the presence of social media that inhabit cyberspace. Information disturbances
including fake news are increasingly prevalent on social media.
Fake news or junk news or pseudo-news, is a kind of propaganda that consists of
deliberate diverting of information or deception spread through both traditional news media
(print and broadcast), as well as online social media. Misinformation is often caused by the
practice of buying and selling news from its source or the problem of violating journalistic
code of ethics. The presence of cyberspace (especially social media) has increased the
numbers and negative impact of false news multiplically. The fake news has a chance to
become viral as misinformation on social media and often even affects print media. In turn,
the false news is actually believed to be valid information that impacts various aspects of life.
This paper discusses the role of librarians to help their users in responding to fake
news that fills the virtual world of social media. The discussion starts from  the presentation of the forms and motives for spreading the fake news. Behavior of the recipients of the fake news and analysis of it from the cultural point of view, especially the Minangkabau culture in West Sumatra which inherited oral culture, rather than written culture, is discussed as well.
The discussions lead to librarians’ potential efforts to reduce the negative impact of fake news, at least, for their library users.
