Objective-prism surveys for UV-excess and emission-line galaxies, especially the Markarian survey, have been central to the study of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Here we present results from the KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS), a modern digital objective-prism survey for emission line objects. KISS is able to probe several magnitudes fainter than previous objective-prism surveys which utilized photographic plates. This survey is discovering substantial numbers of new nearby (z < 0.1) AGNs, in particular low-luminosity Seyfert's and LINERs. We discuss the properties of the sample, including the Seyfert luminosity function. We also present cross-correlations of the KISS AGN sample with surveys at other wavelengths, including the x-ray, radio, and far-infrared.
