Electron-impact cross sections for the v->V'transitions between the vibrational levels of X ? and A ? electronic states of the LiH molecule, are calculated from threshold to 1000 eV by using the threshold-modified Massey-Mott approximation. The rate coefficients for the same transitions are also calculated in the range 0.1-1000 eV. Scaling relationships for both the v - v? cross section and v - v? rate coefficients are derived, allowing us to represent the calculated quantities in a compact analytic form.
