Via Tim W.:
A patron needed help locating an article that uses GSS data. I tried all sorts of searches using our databases and the GSS site itself. I wasn't able to help the patron. In fact, I received repeated "session has timed out" errors using the GSS site. I eventually referred the patron to his/her professor or classmates, but if we get this question again, here is their assigment:
1.Go to GSS Bibliographic Search Engine.
2.Search for your topic in the keywords box; also select only Chapters in Books, Conference Papers, Cross-National Report, Journal Articles, Project Report, Reports, and Social Change Reports.
3.Locate one of the articles on your topic. (Note: If there are no results from this search engine, you may return to using EBSCO as you did in the last assignment; you will need to make sure that the articles you find in EBSCO are using GSS data for this activity.)
If you get this question please feel free to refer to me. Also ICPSR has a bibliography (https://library.uncg.edu/dbs/auth/go.asp?vdbID=606) If you search for General Social Survey, the record will have a link called View Related Literature that will pull up articles that use GSS data.
