Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between media literacy and the use of cyberspace and the acceptance of media news among librarians. The use of cyberspace and the acceptance of media news are issues that are of greater importance among librarians today.
Research method: The research method was a descriptive-correlational study. The statistical population of the study is all librarians of public libraries in Qom province, which number is 112 people, and the sample size is 80 people selected by convenience sampling method. A questionnaire was used to collect data. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by the professors and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient.
Research findings: The data were analyzed through Pearson's correlation coefficient and one-way analysis of variance in SPSS software. The results showed that there is no significant relationship between media literacy and the amount of use of cyberspace (p>0.05). There is a negative relationship between media literacy and its components and the acceptance of media news (p<0.01). Among the demographic variables, the relationship between the field of study and media literacy and the acceptance of media news, and the relationship between the type of media and the amount of use of cyberspace and the acceptance of media news are significant.
Conclusion: The results of this study have made significant achievements in both theoretical and practical areas, so that by strengthening media literacy, librarians' awareness and skills in the field of news and media information can be increased and the acceptance of false and unrealistic news in cyberspace can be prevented.
