: Re: Citation short form for authors' names: different authors, different books, same last name. First name in endnote? A colleague is assembling a book for publication, and the publisher instructions

I always saw this interpreted in graduate school as being listed as:

Li, H. Short Title ABC: An introduction. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2000.
Li, M. Quick Title DEC: For Experts. New York: University of New York Press, 1987.

This makes it clear they're two different people. Now, as you mentioned, the last names are common, so if you have two M. Lis, you'd want to put the full first names.
