This document discusses demystifying technology and information literacy through building communities and empowering library patrons. It provides theories on human motivation and learning, and examples of how libraries have demystified topics like computers, research processes, and academic librarianship for patrons. Through co-creation, fostering knowledge, challenging barriers, and promoting agency, demystifying aims to increase understanding and expand choices for community members. Discussion focuses on applying these principles in various library contexts through collaboration, presence, clarifying processes, and facilitating conversations.
