Jennifer,
I as well as several other people have recommended this book as a
starting point for dealing with scanning:
Real World Scanning and Halftones
by David Blatner and Steve Roth
Published by Peachpit ress
1/800/283/9444


Best no nonsense book on the subject I have read particularly in the area
of understanding resolution and dynamic range. They also have done a good
job of explaining the PhotoCD format.
   Hope this helps
