INTRODUCTION
Although there is a considerable amount of information
available on elephants in data bases it is not readily available in an organized
manner to most persons. The references in this publication were obtained from
seven different data bases and compiled chronologically, and alphabetically
by title, under various general headings. There area number of papers and articles
dealing with elephants in the wild, their tracking, number estimation, feeding
habits, environmental damage, conflicts with people, etc. Only a few of these
types of articles are included in this resource reference. Most of the references
in this publication are concerned with captive animals and their care, behavior,
health, handling and bodily functions, etc. This publication is not meant to
be all inclusive as there are a number of private database collections on elephants
which are not included here. The references listed in this publication were
collected and organized into general categories for easier reference and locating
pertinent articles. The references are listed first under a General category
which pertains to elephants in general and then under separate sections for
African and Asian elephants. These two sections are further broken into thirteen
subsections as indicated in the Table of Contents. An additional section on
Selected Elephant Web Sites has been added at the end of the publication. It
is hoped this publication will be of use to those interested in elephants and
their care, treatment and conservation in captivity and in the
wild.
