2009-S6855 - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S6855

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the economic development law, in relation to
establishing the academic research information access act


 PURPOSE OF THE BILL :

This legislation harnesses the public and private academic and
research libraries of New York to create an information infrastructure
that will support and promote teaching, scholarship, research,
innovation and economic growth. By lowering costs for academic
institutions while broadening access to information resources in
science, technology, engineering and medicine, ARIA will empower the
innovators and entrepreneurs who will lead our economy in the
information age.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

§ 1- Legislative findings. The New York State Commission on Higher
Education concluded in their June 2008 Final Report of Findings and
Recommendations that New York State is rapidly losing ground in the
global competition for preeminence in the knowledge-based economy of
the twenty-first century. Among its recommendations, the Commission

argued that two "infrastructure investments are particularly critical
to participation in the knowledge economy:  technology and academic
libraries."

To create the needed infrastructure the Commission sought the
"academic library pooling of electronic information." The report said,
"not only are scientific discoveries shared through electronic
journals, but faculty and students in both the sciences and humanities
increasingly rely on electronic resources such as collections of
primary literary texts and historical archives.  Academic libraries
are now contending with rapidly expanding information sources, and
facing increasing costs for

§ 2- Sets out the short title.

§ 3- Amends section 100 of the Economic Development Law which sets out
the general powers of the Department to include promoting the broad
availability of information resources.

§ 4- Adds a new Article 17 to the Economic Development Law entitled
Academic Research Information Access. Specifically, this section
establishes in statute the framework for the Academic Research
Information Access (ARIA) act. Doing so, this section defines the
participating entities and beneficiaries, provides for a
representative advisory board to oversee procurement of information
resources, and establishes guidelines for the procedures of ARIA.

§ 5- Effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :
This legislation establishes a statewide information infrastructure by
leveraging the considerable investments of New York's public and
private academic and research libraries.

Establishment of the information infrastructure answers a challenge
set in the A.T. Kearney report commissioned by Empire State
Development. That report insisted on the need for a "unified statewide
economic growth engine fueled by the development of a high technology
infrastructure.  Such an infrastructure can be created through the

combined efforts of the state, ESD, businesses, investors and the
academic and research communities."

ARIA follows a model established by other states. By centralizing the
purchase of expensive electronic information resources ARIA secures
enormous economies of scale. The result is savings for institutions of
higher education and expanded access to critical resources for those
innovators for whom the resource pricing is prohibitive, such as small
businesses.

New York is home to the largest public state and urban higher
education systems, as well as the largest ensemble of private colleges
and universities. ARIA offers an opportunity to take advantage of this
unequaled advantage. Through ARIA, all not-for-profit institutions of
higher education will have the ability to access electronic data
sources in support of science, technology, engineering and medicine.
Also gaining the ability to access these resources would be all
university affiliated incubators, designated research libraries and
small businesses receiving state assistance through Empire Zones,
NYSTAR, ESD, or NYSERDA.

Modeled closely on the New Jersey Knowledge Initiative, ARIA
anticipates a return on investment greater than ten dollars for
everyone dollar invested. While the ARIA program would be administered
by NYSTAR, procurement decisions would be guided by an advisory
committee of academic library professionals, proportionately elected
by peers to ensure the needs of all colleges and universities are
represented.

In 2009 this legislation enjoyed unanimous approval in the state
Senate and Assembly and received the support of SUNY, CUNY and CICU,
as well as the Business Council of New York State, the Business
Incubator Association of New York, and the National Federation of
Independent Business.

In his veto message Governor David Paterson did not cite technical nor
substantive issues with the legislation. Instead, the Governor stated
that state finances did not allow for the implementation of a program
that could compel a state appropriation.

This legislation establishes the framework for ARIA, without mandating
an appropriation. This legislation anticipates that funding may become
available from public or other sources at some future date.  Enactment
of the legislation will allow NYSTAR and the ARIA advisory committee
to establish processes, including procurement procedures, as well as
undertake requisite surveys to assess specific need, and open
negotiations with vendors for desired products.

AN  ACT to amend the economic development law, in relation to establish-
  ing the academic research information access act

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Legislative findings. The public and private academic and
research libraries of New York individually license research and  devel-
opment  information  resources,  access to which is vitally important to
the furtherance of an innovation-based economy.  The  primary  obstacles
limiting  access  to these information resources both at institutions of
higher education, and within the entrepreneurial community, are the high
cost of licensing agreements  and  restrictive  contracts  that  inhibit
collaboration.  New companies and emerging industries will be encouraged
to locate their business in New York state adding to state revenues that
are derived by the existence of such private and public sector commerce.
Therefore, it is in the best interests of the economic  development  and
higher  education interests of this state to enact the academic research
information access act.
  S 2. Short title. This act shall be known and  may  be  cited  as  the
"academic research information access act".
  S  3. Section 100 of the economic development law is amended by adding
two new subdivisions 32-a and 32-b to read as follows:
  32-A. TO PROMOTE EFFICIENT UTILIZATION  OF  STATE  RESOURCES  FOR  THE
PROCUREMENT  OF  INFORMATION,  DATA AND CONTENT RESOURCES, FOR ACADEMIC,
RESEARCH AND COMMERCIAL INSTITUTIONS.
  32-B. TO SECURE AGREEMENTS WITH PUBLIC, NOT-FOR-PROFIT AND  FOR-PROFIT
CORPORATIONS  TO  PROVIDE  FOR THE PRODUCTIVE USE OF THE STATE RESOURCES
NEEDED TO ENHANCE TEACHING, LEARNING AND RESEARCH.
  S 4. The economic development law is amended by adding a  new  article
17 to read as follows:
                               ARTICLE 17
                  ACADEMIC RESEARCH INFORMATION ACCESS

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets

TATIVE OF THE ACADEMIC AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES FROM THE SMALL, MEDIUM AND
LARGE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN  THE  STATE
AND  THE  SMALL  BUSINESS  COMMUNITIES FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF MAKING
REGULAR RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE DEPARTMENT REGARDING  THE  SELECTION  AND
MAINTENANCE OF INFORMATION RESOURCES.
  3.  AGREEMENTS  REACHED UNDER THE ACADEMIC RESEARCH INFORMATION ACCESS
PROGRAM SHALL BE NEGOTIATED BY A STANDING PUBLIC  ENTITY  THAT  COMPLIES

ATING ENTITY MAY, AS PART OF  THE  TERMS  OF  AN  ADOPTED  CONTRACT,  BE
