Instructions for specific methods developed or used by Delta are listed in the Contents of the manual. Further assistance is available from Field and Test Methods. Personnel are not limited to these methods, but should ensure they use standard, documented methodologies. Many reference books and on-line resources for field methods are listed in this Bibliography, however it is only meant to be indicative. New books (for example) are frequently added to the collection. As books are arranged by topic, this bibliography can be used as a starting point. Further resources may be found in the Legislation Bibliography, which includes guidelines and codes of practice that may be set by regulation, and the Laboratory Methods Bibliography. The "Favorites" bookmark tool contains a section on test methods available on-line.
