The second part of a three-part assessment of community education research needs, this report attempted to formulate research questions and identify research needs related to interagency partnerships in community education. It begins with a glossary and statement of the historical basis for interagency relationships. The types of agencies involved, the types of involvement, and the ressons for alliances are identified. Benefits of and barriers to the development of interagency partnerships are then highlighted. Facilitation of the interagency process is discussed. A review of research describes research studies on interagency patterns that relate to community education. The report concludes with a list of critical questions and research needs for researchers in community education to examine. A seventeen-page list of sources consulted by the authors is included.
