Beamafilm Announces Integration Partnership with Aurora by AIT, Enhancing Library Management
Sydney, Australia | June 30, 2023
Beamafilm, an Australian-owned streaming platform specialising in independent film, documentaries and culturally diverse content, has announced a new integration partnership with Aurora, the library management system developed by AIT, making it easier and more secure for library members to access Beamafilm through their library.
The integration introduces web authentication between Aurora and Beamafilm, enabling participating libraries to authenticate members securely using their existing library credentials.
For patrons, this creates a simpler experience: members can access Beamafilm using the credentials they already use with their library, without requiring libraries to maintain separate authentication processes.
For libraries, the integration provides a secure, streamlined way to validate patron access directly against their library management system, helping ensure that Beamafilm is available only to eligible library members.
Louise van Rooyen, Managing Director of Beamafilm, said:
“Our partnership with Aurora is another important step towards making streaming as seamless and accessible as possible within the digital library experience. By integrating directly with the library management system, we can simplify access for patrons while giving libraries a secure and efficient way to authenticate their members.”
The collaboration forms part of Beamafilm’s broader strategy to integrate more deeply with the technology platforms libraries already use, making high-quality streaming content easier to discover, access and manage.
Beamafilm offers libraries a curated alternative to mainstream streaming, with a diverse catalogue spanning independent and world cinema, acclaimed documentaries, Australian film, educational content and culturally diverse stories. The ad-free service enables libraries to extend their digital collections beyond books and traditional resources and connect their communities with stories from Australia and around the world.
The Aurora integration further strengthens Beamafilm’s commitment to working with library technology partners to reduce barriers to digital access and help libraries deliver engaging, secure and intuitive online experiences for their communities.
