BILL NUMBER: S6901 TITLE OF BILL : 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 governmental entities PURPOSE : 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 conducive 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. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Amends Section 286 of the Education Law to: 1) Create the New York State Comprehensive Information system (NYSCIS).
