Opamp input protection

Hi
Anyone have a paper discussing the various methods of protecting opamp inputs?? I know there are a couple of ways, but uncertain as to which works best where.

Best method I know is to keep them away from musicians!

Failing that, a series resistor followed by a couple of diodes to the supply rails.
