First I will review the indications in favor of short-baseline neutrino oscillations, which require the existence of one or more sterile neutrinos. Then I will present the results of fits of short-baseline neutrino oscillation data in 3+1 and 3+2 neutrino mixing schemes. Finally I will discuss some powerful future probes to pin down the issue of sterile neutrino oscillation.
