The ESO's CoudeEchelle Spectrometer is presently used in investigtions of the mechanisms by which Li is produced in stars and the connection between atmospheric Li abundance and the degree of mixing in the stellar envelope. Determinations are made by measurements of the Li-6/Li-7 isotopic abundance ratio, and of the Li abundance in such evolved stars as those with weak G-bands, whose chemical composition suggests that their atmospheres are mixed with large amounts of CNO-processed interior materials. The present observations have nearly doubled the number of weak G-band stars with Li, enlarging the observational bases for attempts to understand the conditions under which these stars preserve or produce Li.
