Dear Sir, A very relevant issue has been raised by Dr. Vimal Kuamr. The different styles followed by different journals not only in LIS, but in other disciplines causes lot of problems to the authors. There is a need that journal publishers follow a standard style of referencing.

ALA launches national campaign against e-book embargo
by Siddu Huded 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

Dear Professionals, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE – The American Library Association (ALA) and Public Library Association (PLA) announced a public campaign in response to recent efforts to limit library access to e-books. In a press conference held at the Nashville Public Library during the 2019 Digital Book World conference, ALA debuted an online petition at eBooksForAll.org <http://www.ebooksforall.org/> for members of the public to urge Macmillan Publishers CEO John Sargent to reverse the proposed embargo on e-books sold to libraries. (See full petition text below.) “ALA’s goal is to send a clear message to Macmillan’s CEO John Sargent: e-book access should be neither denied nor delayed,” said ALA Executive Director Mary Ghikas. “Our members are telling us their patrons want an easy way to join this movement and demand e-book access for all. We heard them, and today’s launch is the beginning of a public advocacy campaign in support of that. Libraries have millions of allies out there, and we’re inviting them to take action.” http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2019/09/ala-launches-national-campai… *Best Regards* *Siddu M.
