We have been monitoring the CaII H and K emission in late-type giant stars using the Mt Wilson 60-inch telescope. It is a continuation of work that Olin Wilson began almost 20 years ago. As a result not only have starspot cycles been detected (equivalent to the solar sunspot cycle), but rotation periods have now been measured.
