This report describes a project which assessed the feasibility for the design and implementation of a Center for Scientific and Technical Information (STI) Transfer in the Central New York region, and to lay the groundwork for cooperative projects among Syracuse University (SU), Central New York libraries, regional businesses, and area governments that would strengthen the economic health of existing firms and attract new businesses into the area. Project methodology included a literature review; the gathering of data from members of the Central New York business community and from public, academic, and special library members of the Central New York Library Resources Council (CENTRO) through interviews and questionnaires; and the collection of data on SU via interviews and an inventory of current research activities. It is concluded that regional economic development can be encouraged by better access to and use of business information and STI, and it is recommended that a Center for STI Transfer be established at SU based on a "switching station" model. Appendices include the business questionnaire, the library questionnaire, a listing of selected recent SU funded research projects, and a listing of databases available from DIALOG. A 74-item bibliography is also provided. (KM)
