Any commercial use of these electronic files is prohibited without written permission from USITT. Please contact the editor.
     
Letters to the Editor   TD&T welcomes reader comments and suggestions. When writing, please include complete contact information (name, address, phone, e-mail, etc.) We publish as many letters as possible and sometimes find it necessary to edit for length. Please send your correspondence to the editorial office.
     
Writing Articles   TD&T is always looking for exciting and interesting articles. If you have an idea for an article, we'd be interested in hearing about it. Our writers guidelines are available online and can be mailed to you upon request. A Juried Section of TD&T is available for our academic members who wish to have their articles judged by a jury of academic peers according to the rigorous standards of scholarly publications. A copy of the submission guidelines for juried articles is available from the USITT office.
