Abstract	A model is proposed for developing and implementing a community-based lifelong learning resources system. The model, which is based on systems theory, features the following sequence of activities: identifying all the learning resources in a community, incorporating information about these resources into a database, establishing a mechanism for policymaking and administration, and designing a lifelong learning process. This program design process calls for individuals to engage in a series of learning projects that involve the following elements: development of the skills of self-directed inquiry, diagnosis of learning needs, translation of these needs into learning objectives, identification of human and material resources for accomplishing the objectives, design of a plan of strategies for using these resources, execution of the plan, and evaluation of the extent to which the objectives have been accomplished. The model is suitable for use both in the United States and in developing nations. (Appended to this working paper are a list of the skills of self-directed learning, a list of competencies for performing life roles, and a graphic representation of the model.) (MN)
