    I am trying to gather information on companies that provide scanning contracting services. For example, rather than purchasing scanning equipment we are considering leasing ... rather than hiring permanent people to scan our collection we are considering contract personnel.

    Has anyone taken this approach?

    What companies are available?

    What were the pros and cons?

    If you do everything in-house how do you keep up with new scanning technology?

    How do you keep good scanning personnel?

    Thank you so much for your help. I did not find anything in the archives about this but if it has already been discussed please let me know and I will take another look.

    Thank you! Anne
