We present a brief overview of a splinter session on determining themetallicity of low-mass dwarfs that was organized as part of the Cool Stars 16conference. We review contemporary spectroscopic and photometric techniques forestimating metallicity in low-mass dwarfs and discuss the importance ofmeasuring accurate metallicities for studies of Galactic and chemical evolutionusing subdwarfs, creating metallicity benchmarks for brown dwarfs, andsearching for extrasolar planets that are orbiting around low--mass dwarfs. Inaddition, we present the current understanding of the effects of metallicity onstellar evolution and atmosphere models and discuss some of the limitationsthat are important to consider when comparing theoretical models to data.
