First collaborative 24x7 live digital reference service?

[Sloan, Bernie]

I am trying to establish who was the first collaborative (i.e., more than
one library) live (i.e., interactive, synchronous, etc) digital reference
service to offer service on a 24x7 basis??

So far I have just one candidate: the Ready for Reference project in
Illinois. All the other projects I am aware of are either single
institutions, or collaborative projects that have hours less than 24x7.

Thanks in advance for any leads on other collaborative 24x7 services!
