Abstract: Slides presented at the 19th Annual Paraprofessional Conference at East Carolina University in May 2023.One of the main things that COVID has shown us is that we must plan for the unexpected, especially when it comes to providing coverage when another instruction or research librarian is out of the office. Unfortunately, not all liaisons utilize the same databases/tools when teaching information literacy nor incorporate the same strategies with regards to active learning. As a result, how can librarians create cross training opportunities to reduce last minute preparation and stress involved in covering for a colleague? You can have the PowerPoint slides, obtain access to the database/tool, and still feel lost. This session will discuss how to go about identifying differences and developing a plan to cross train a group.
