Elastic and inelastic scattering of {sup 8}Li ions have been observed on targets of C and Au at a beam energy of 14 MeV, using the University of Notre Dame--University of Michigan radioactive nuclear beam facility. The elastic scattering shows that, in most respects, {sup 8}Li behaves similarly to {sup 6,7}Li. However, a large probability for populating the first excited state of {sup 8}Li via inelastic scattering is observed. Data analysis using a deformed optical-model potential obtained from fits to the elastic scattering yields a reduced transition strength {ital B}({ital E}2{up arrow})=30{plus minus}15 {ital e}{sup 2} fm{sup 4}.
