IAAOC is going GREEN
One of the benefits of your IAAOC membership, the Journal of Addictions and Offender Counseling (JAOC), will
be available in electronic form!
Following the lead of ACA, and in line with the movement of some other ACA divisions, IAAOC is taking part
in a Wiley agreement which will allow our journal to be accessed in electronic form. All IAAOC members will
have access to the journal online.
However, we need to notify all of our IAAOC members of additional costs, should you choose to still receive print
journals. As of January 2012, when you renew your IAAOC membership, you will be billed an additional fee
of $25 (per year) if you choose to also receive print versions of JAOC. While all IAAOC members will receive
electronic versions of JAOC at no additional cost, those who also elect to receive print versions of JAOC will
need to pay a fee of $25 per year.
In order to access your online issues of JAOC, ACA is in the process of setting up a ":new journals"
page on the ACA website. You will log onto your account at the ACA website, go to this webpage, and
gain access to online versions of JAOC. You also will be able to set up notifications on the Wiley site,
so that you will be emailed when a new JAOC issue is available online.
In addition, if you have already renewed your IAAOC membership and would like to only receive electronic
JAOC issues, please contact ACA as soon as possible!

IAAOC Graduate Student Committee Chair, Regina Moro, is working on putting together a newsletter highlighting IAAOC graduate students from around the country and is asking for your help!
This newsletter will be a great way for students to get to know what other students are doing, and what opportunities exist out there. This newsletter will also serve as a great launching pad for developing relationships with other students outside of your program.
Types of articles and highlights that may be submitted include:
- Personal narratives about experience in counseling program, related to
addictions or offender counseling
- Clinical internship experience narratives
- Book reviews
- Anything else that you feel would make a positive contribution!
Articles can be submitted, Regina Moro, at rmoro@uncc.edu. I would like to have these by the end of February so I have enough time to get this out before the ACA conference in New Orleans.
Also, IAAOC is fortunate to have the online resource Scholar from Virginia Tech available for our use. Within that online portal, there is a forum that is dedicated directly to IAAOC Graduate Student members to use for communication.
Please direct any questions or comments to Regina at rmoro@uncc.edu.
