S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 9470 I N A S S E M B L Y May 1, 2014 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. NOLAN -- read once and referred to the Committee on Libraries and Education Technology AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to authorizing the state library to coordinate the purchase of electronic databases or other information resources for state agencies, libraries and other govern- mental entities THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "New York state comprehensive information system (NYSCIS) act". S 2. Legislative findings. State agencies and the libraries of New York individually license and purchase electronic databases and other information resources. Access to information is not only vital to the functioning of our democracy, but also to creating an environment condu- cive to learning, research and innovation. The coordination of the selection and purchase of these resources by the state library would result in greater efficiencies and cost savings for the public and foster improved access to information across the state. Therefore, it is in the best interests of the state and its libraries to enact the "New York state comprehensive information system (NYSCIS) act". S 3. The education law is amended by adding a new section 286 to read as follows: S 286. NEW YORK STATE COMPREHENSIVE INFORMATION SYSTEM. 1. GENERAL. THERE IS HEREBY ESTABLISHED THE NEW YORK STATE COMPREHENSIVE INFORMATION SYSTEM (NYSCIS) TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE STATE LIBRARY TO ENABLE A COLLABORATIVE AND COST EFFECTIVE APPROACH TO THE PROCUREMENT OF ELEC- TRONIC DATABASE AND OTHER INFORMATION RESOURCES. 2.
