December 2009
Dear Friends: Through the generosity of Jeheskel (Hezy) Shoshani and the Elephant Research Foundation Board, the Jeheskel (Hezy) Library Endowed Collection - formerly the Elephant Research Foundation (EFR) Library - has been established at Wayne State University. Located in the university's Science and Engineering Library and in close proximity to the skeleton of the Asian elephant, Iki, prepared by Dr. Shoshani in the 1980s, the library is an exciting enhancement to our institution's research collections. We are delighted to have been chosen for this important collection of resources concerning elephants, their precursors and relatives.
The vast majority of books from the Library will have been cataloged. You may want to try accessing this collection by pointing a Web browser to:
