Abstract
In an era where information is currency, the work of an information scientist has never been more critical or enmeshed with society. Many topical works cover the theme of misinformation with claims and accusations often giving those claims themselves the air of misinformation. Being that we are in an Infodemic Era, the convoluted nature of information access and information vetting have become, in some extreme cases, weaponized, as can be seen in a variety of recent and current events. Nevertheless, information scientists continue to serve as a beacon of truth and neutrality but the escalating danger of the spread of misinformation has left many professionals at a loss for where and how to begin resisting and preventing this phenomenon.
