Abstract	This monograph describes a practical, low cost needs assessment process used by Broward Community College (Florida) in cooperation with the public school system. The assessment was initiated by college administrators who needed information to plan appropriate programs and services for the residents living in a newly created service area. The material in the document is organized in three major areas: background of the problem, the needs assessment process, and conclusions. The background setting describes the general environmental factors surrounding the needs assessment study, including demographic considerations, the need for information, and preliminary plans for implementing the needs assessment project. The needs assessment process includes a step by step review of the procedure, the rationale, and significant observations. Aspects of the process include: (1) assessing resources; (2) reviewing other assessment projects; (3) establishing a survey team; (4) meeting with key groups; (5) developing a research design (population stratification, selecting the sample, and collection of data); and (6) holding a meeting after completion of the survey. The conclusions reflect on the outcomes and the significance of the process. Data tables outline demographic information. The survey instrument and a bibliography are appended. (Author/MB)
