The multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock method is used to calculate
wavefunctions in the infinite nuclear mass limit for the terms 2s 2S,
2p 2Po, 3s 2S, 3p 2Po,
3d 2D
and 4s 2S of lithium-like ions
(3⩽Z⩽8). Transition data, isotope shift parameters and
hyperfine structure electronic contributions involving the six terms of the
six ions are evaluated ab initio and compared with the most recent
observations and other theoretical calculations when available. The
isotopes 7,6Li I, 11,10,9,7Be II, 11,10B III, 14,13,12C IV, 15,14N V and 18,17,16O VI are
considered in the
analysis of the mass isotope shifts.
