Yes, I highly highly recommend the Dauter (1999) paper that Harry has suggested. Also, check out:
Dauter Z. Efficient use of synchrotron radiation for macromolecular diffraction data collection. Prog Biophys Mol Biol. 2005 Oct;89(2):153-72. Most everything you want to learn about data collection is in these two papers.
