The California Preservation Clearinghouse at Stanford Preservation has guidelines for establishing needs assessment and provides a number of helpful links that deal with preservation surveys—conducting them, writing and implementing the reports, and securing funding. See http://cpc.stanford.edu/management/needs-assessment.html.

The site http://www.rlg.org/preserv/digpres.html, maintained by the Research Libraries Group, includes survey instruments and interview protocol points in appendix A. This survey, however, deals with digital preservation needs in RLG member institutions.

At http://www.nla.gov.au/chg/assess.html, the National Library of Australia has information on the purpose of a preservation assessment survey, along with key points and a collections description form to include.

The Council of State Historical Records Coordinators, at http://www.coshrc.org/webproject/researchfiles/websitereview.htm, provides a number of links for needs assessment.
