Extraction of accurate values of autoionization rates from broadened emission lines in optical spectra is discussed. Results for autoionizing states in He I and Li I are given and compared with theory. Spin-induced autoionization is proposed to cause the discrepancy between theoretical and experimental lifetimes for some Li I quartet levels.
