The nucleosynthesis of 6Li in the galaxy has become of considerable interest in the past year. This is largely because of the exciting developments relating to the first detection of this isotope outside of our own solar system. Not only has 6Li been recently detected in the atmospheres of halo dwarfs [1-2], but also in the local interstellar medium (ISM) [3-4].

It is well known that knowledge of the primordial abundance of the lithium isotopes has important ramifications for cosmology, through the constraints they impose on standard big bang nucleosynthesis (SBBN) [5], and those imposed on non-standard primordial nucleosynthesis models. Since a complete understanding of the galactic evolution of the lithium isotopes is a prerequisite to unambiguously determining their primordial abundance, a thorough interpretation of the new 6Li data in the context of chemical evolution models cannot be overstated.
