We present calculations of spin asymmetries for the elastic and 2 [sup 2][ital P] channels, differential and integrated cross sections for the elastic through to 4 [sup 2][ital F] channels, and total cross sections of electrons scattering on lithium at a range of energies from 1 to 200 eV. Very good agreement is found with available measurements at all energies, which for the spin asymmetries may only be achieved by the inclusion of coupling of the low-lying target states to the target continuum.
