SILLVR Pilot for Streaming Video Resource Sharing
<https://coalliance.org/news/sillvr-pilot-streaming-video-resource-sharing>

The Auraria Library <https://library.auraria.edu/>, Colorado Alliance of
Research Libraries
<https://coalliance.org/colorado-alliance-research-libraries>
(Alliance), InfoBase
(Films On Demand) <https://www.infobase.com/streaming-video-collections/>,
and Swank Digital Campus <https://www.swank.com/digital-campus> are excited
to announce their collaboration on the SILLVR (Streaming Interlibrary Loan
Video Resources) pilot project. ILL for streaming video is one step in
supporting digital inclusion by allowing libraries to share the streaming
content they are subscribing or purchasing. By participating in this new
initiative *Films On Demand *and Swank are demonstrating that they care
about underfunded libraries, equity, access and keeping vital library
services like ILL alive as collection formats change. The SILLVR pilot will
start Spring 2020 and last one year. During that time streaming videos can
be loaned via ILL using the Alliance’s Union Catalog and Resource Sharing
system Prospector. <https://coalliance.org/software/prospector>  Swank
films will only be made available to the Academic Libraries within the
Alliance.
