RLG have put together a very good set of imaging guides under the heading;
"Guides to Quality in Visual Resource Imaging " and one of these addresses your need;
Selecting a Scanner
http://www.rlg.org/visguides/visguide2.html
I found this very helpful.
The other guides are;
1. Planning an Imaging Project, by Linda Serenson Colet, Museum of Modern Art
2. Selecting a Scanner, by Don Williams, Eastman Kodak Company
3. Imaging Systems: the Range of Factors Affecting Image Quality, by Donald D'Amato, Mitretek Systems
4. Measuring Quality of Digital Masters, by Franziska Frey, Image Permanence Institute Rochester Institute of Technology
5. File Formats for Digital Masters, by Franziska Frey

Thanks to everyone for the feedback! You suggestions and comments were
helpful.
Another question - what guidelines do you use for evaluating the
quality of a scanner? Do you judge the quality by what you see and what
you can test using the monitor or do you also rely on prints (made from
the scans) to validate what you see? Any formal guidelines anyone uses?
Thanks,
