Electronic Access:
Beginning January 1, 2012, Wiley-Blackwell (W-B) began publishing the journal on behalf of ACA and its division NCDA. This journal’s back issue files are now digitized and are available through the Wiley Online Library from Volume 1, Number 1 to the present.  NCDA Members may access the CDQ by logging in via the MyNCDA members-only page.

Beginning with the September 2012 issue, you will receive only electronic access to The Career Development Quarterly (CDQ) through the Wiley Online Library, unless you have informed ACA (by responding to our electronic surveys, mail, or phone campaigns during the past year) that you prefer to continue to receive print copies of the journal. If you are an ACA/NCDA member and would like to continue to receive print copies of the journal, there is a $15.00 charge per year. The option to receive a print copy will appear on your next membership renewal, or you can simply call ACA Member Services at 800-347- 6647 x222 / 703-823-9800 x222 to let us know that you would like to continue receive print copies of the journal. NCDA-only members should contact NCDA directly.
