Informational education can be a way to control infodemic and disinfodemic in this pandemic context. In this way, the result of a research whose central objective is to present two actions of information literacy, within the scope of the disinfodemic of COVID-19, is disclosed here. For this, a qualitative research is carried out from a theoretical-conceptual perspective based on four analytical concepts between infodemic, disinformation, disinfodemic and information literacy, from the point of view of education in informational dynamics. Information literacy is presented within the scope of actions aimed at the target audience of false information about COVID-19, with the objective of promoting critical thinking and the assessment of information sources, in different environments and information dynamics. The result, with the objective of illustrating two dynamics in information literacy, is seen in the initiatives of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) and the VI Forum de Competência em Informação: pesquisas e práticas, carried out in Rio de Janeiro, from the perspective of information education. It concludes that initiatives of information literacy seen from the perspective of promoting citizens' rights as education in information dynamics can promote critical, ethical and solidary information practices
