“…Almost every day, one, two, or more deaths of humans or elephants appear in the local newspapers and electronic media, making conflict visible even to people beyond elephant ranges. Some compilations in media reports share that between the years 2014 and 2019, there have been 379 elephant deaths due to various reasons, including poaching and accidents, while elephants were responsible for 412 human deaths and 310 human injuries (Maharana, 2019; Senapati, 2020). Many studies have stated that the rise in human–elephant conflict (HEC) is a result of inappropriate land‐use practices, such as permanent human settlements, growing food crops adjacent to elephant rangelands, degradation or fragmentation of habitat, blocked traditional routes, and limited access to water (Fernando et al, 2008; Krishnan et al, 2019; Lenin & Sukumar, 2011; Treves et al, 2006; Kumar, Vijayakrishnan & Singh, 2018, Naughton‐Treves & Treves, 2005).…”

The instances of human-elephant conflict (HEC) are becoming pervasive in elephant range areas across the globe. One of the primary reasons is the exclusion and underrepresentation of local communities in the planning and implementation of mitigation strategies. However, engaging with local communities and considering their viewpoints are vital for the success of conflict mitigation and conservation efforts. This qualitative study was undertaken to gain a reasonably comprehensive understanding of the local community's perspectives concerning elephants in the Balasore district of Odisha, a state along the Eastern coast of India. Qualitative data obtained primarily through focus group discussions were analyzed using MAXQDA 2020 to perform thematic analysis of participants' narratives. Six common themes emerged from the study: exposure and experiences with elephants, the efficacy of deterrents, compassionate payment provisions, reasons for tolerance, and expectations. Attempts were made to understand the community viewpoints and offer implementable recommendations to improve human-elephant interactions by adopting more inclusive and participatory conservation practices.

With information and communications technologies (ICTs) and scientific developments, not only the nature and environment of information acquisition but also perception, learning and research have been reshaped and new tools, methods, and notions have arisen. With this study it is aimed to determine the electronic information literacy levels of researchers of two universities in Turkey: Kastamonu and Çankırı Karatekin. The study considers the challenges of whether the researchers have received any support from the related library; whether their electronic information literacy activities and skills are sufficient and whether there is any significant difference between the two universities or not. Determination of levels of research oriented information skills will help and enable the infant libraries of these two universities to review and include in their plans and strategies new services and models of information literacy practices. Related literature is reviewed and a structured survey was used as a technique for data collection. The data set of this study based on a descriptive and comparative methods is analyzed with MS Excel program. Findings showed that the electronic information literacy skills and levels of researchers are generally low and that there is no significant difference between the levels of researchers of the two universities. It was concluded that increase in effectiveness of electronic information literacy skills will increase the academic productivity of the researchers. * This article is an expanded and reviewed text that presented on "Internatioanal Conferance on Social Sciences and Humanities" Changing the World: Challenges, Opportiunities and Responsibilities (ICSSH2017) in September 12-14-2017,
