Carol and Susan,
See the SLA news division site at http://www.ibiblio.org/slanews. Select
Adoption Center on the left. An Archiving Vendor link will display. Click on
that.

Merlin and SCC get high marks for image capabilities. I have heard PTFS is
a good company to work with in terms of digitization of clips. As a former
news librarian, I can tell you to avoid Digital Collections (DC4).

Good luck,
Lynda

  This is a "me too" request, plus another request. Susan, if people
respond to you directly, would you mind summarizing for the list? Or,
alternatively, people could respond to the list. 

As well, I am wondering if anyone could recommend a way to manage newspaper
clippings. Our Public Relations Department has newspaper clippings from many
years past in paper format. We need an imaging solution and a way to search
the content - same idea as Susan's request, but for newspaper clippings
instead of photos. 

Thanks.
