<div><b>INVITATION TO CONTRIBUTE</b></div>
<div><b>eContact! 9.4 -- Hearing (Loss) and Related Issues</b></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The CEC wishes to extend an invitation to contribute articles,
commentaries, analyses, WIKI page content (and more) to<i> eContact!
9.4</i>.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We intend to address the theme from a variety of perspectives and
therefore welcome contributions from Audiologists, Acousticians,
Psychoacousticians and others, as well as from musicians and music
lovers (see below for suggestions). Contributions do not necessarily
have to be directly related to electroacoustics, but should have some
relation to sound (art) and/or musical practices.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>In addition to new articles written specifically for<i>
eContact!</i> we are interested in publishing articles that may have
been written years ago, but have since gone out of print, have not yet
been made available on the internet, or which were published on now
extinct websites. Any previously-published articles will be fully
credited (the author is responsible for securing any necessary
permissions).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Articles in any language are welcome. For languages other than
English or French, the author will provide an abstract in one or both
of these two languages.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The issue will be launched in late May, contributions must be
ready by mid-May at the latest.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Contact jef chippewa <jef@econtact.ca> if you are
interested in contributing.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><i>eContact! 9.4</i> will also feature a number of WIKI pages, to
which anyone can contribute information, experiences and
recollections, knowledge. Visit the WIKI directly to contribute
<http://cecpublic.pbwiki.com/EcontactHearing>.</div>
