need to be directed to lulu.com's support department.

Can I contribute to the engage journal?
A call for contributions is issued by engage about every six months, but speculative proposals and ideas are also welcome:
email the Editor.
Why did engage decide to go online?
The decision to move the engage journal to a primarily online format was taken following discussions with engage's members, subscribers,
Board of Trustees, Editorial Advisory Board and staff. The move was made for several reasons - an online journal is more cost efficient and
ensures that resources are available for membership services and activities; reduces the environmental impact of print production; and increases
readership and accessibility. The digital format provides interesting opportunities to explore images and video as well as the high-quality
content the journal is known for. We hope that members and subscribers will feel that the various options now on offer are accessible,
interactive and easy to use. The online journal is currently in a pilot phase from 2012-13. Please feel free to contribute to our
online survey or email us your thoughts, comments or suggestions. Your feedback will inform the online journal's
development over the coming months.
