On December 18^th, the existing GSS website will be replaced by a new site at http://gss.norc.org/

Past users of the GSS website should find essentially the same information and content that existed on the old site. Among the major changes are the following:

• NESSTAR is no longer part of the GSS website and many of its features have been replaced by GSS Data Explorer (see description below).
• A bibliography of GSS and International Social Survey Program (ISSP) research publications has been expanded to cover over 25,000 entries. Examples of recent GSS/ISSP uses in the media are provided.

The GSS Data Explorer https://gssdataexplorer.norc.org/ is a component of the GSS website. Users can both analyze and save the GSS data online; share their work with others; and download entire datasets or limited extracts for analysis in many different statistical software program. Features of the GSS Data Explorer include:

• Integrated, nuanced search by year, subject, variable, and question text
• The ability to export full datasets or individual variables for analysis in almost any statistical software program
• The capacity to conduct online analysis and to save and share variables and analysis
• Social media tools enabling users to share findings with broader communities
• Tools for facilitating classroom teaching using the GSS
• GSS Trends reports for the media in 2012 and 2014
• An option to send queries to GSS staff
• More features under development
