You can browse and search through the variable list at this page. This data may also be downloaded from either Berkeley's online data archive (this site contains a nice extract facility that also creates a codebook for the extract file) or from Queens College. The Queens College site also contains a nice downloadable DOS-based extract program that makes it possible to construct your own extracts from one or more years of data. A program containing a searchable annotated bibliography of studies conducted using this data is also available.
