New resources are evaluated by Soil Science Australia’s membership of soil specialists.
Each new library resource is added after careful consideration, it must: 1. demonstrate good quality soil science. The resources must be scientifically valid. Case studies that contribute significantly to the understanding of soil management in Australian regions are also accepted. 2. be relevant to Australian soils, condition, constraints and management practices 3. add value to the Resource Library. If there are multiple resources in the Resource Library on the same topic then the suggested resource must improve on the existing resources that address the topic. 4. be readily available preferably in an electronic version. Some books may be out of print but should be available in libraries or from second-hand booksellers. The file size of resources should enable easy downloading or streaming. 5. be written in language appropriate for the intended audience.
