The cross section for the elastic scattering of α particles from ${}_{}{}^{11}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$ at ${\mathit{E}}_{\mathrm{lab}}$=26 MeV/nucleon is calculated. The single-folding potential plus second-order rescattering correction is used as an optical potential. It is found that the angular distribution is farside dominated. The second-order correction, which contains the short-range correlation effects, merely adds to absorption. Comparison to the α${+}^{12}$C system is made.
