Abstract

Extensive bibliography on Asian and African elephants have been compiled by Dr. Shoshani and has been appearing in the 'Elephant'. These references are brought together and a comprehensive subject and author index prepared. The growth of the subject over the decades and the contributions of the most prolific authors are examined. The journals having maximum publications on elephants is also examined. The index together with the bibliography is intended to serve as a comprehensive reference tool. The literature references are entered into a computer data base and can be made available in popular data base formats (D base, CDS/ISIS. etc.) for online use in IBM - PC compatible microcomputers
