Calling all General Social Survey Users! We want you!
Are you a regular user of the NORC General Social Survey? If you said "Of course!", then we have a survey for you!
The Center for Research Libraries in Chicago is seeking people who are willing to give feedback on the GSS. Their goal is to understand the long term success of certain data sets in order to understand the best practices for tomorrow’s digital repositories. All users of the GSS are welcome (faculty, students, librarians, researchers, etc.). If you're willing to participate, please contact Marie Waltz at waltz@crl.edu. If you have colleagues or students who use it and you think might be willing to participate, please let them know!
If you aren't a GSS user and would like to learn more, please contact Lynda at lmkellam@uncg.edu.
