Thank you so much! I will let you know if I find anything. I'm also hoping to head down there for the Electronic Records and Libraries conference, so I'll let you know if I'm in town for that. Thank you once again for your suggestions,
-Stevie

Welcome Stevie - as a RM member of this community and also as a resident of Austin, I am glad you are reaching out.
One thing I recommend is to watch the Austin ARMA web pages as there may be opportunities posted there from time to time - http://austin.arma.org/.
I also suspect the Canadian consulate might have information about the internship issue - http://canadaonline.about.com/od/travel/a/usembassy.htm.
Austin is a tough town for internships since we not only have UT Austin, but also Texas State University, Concordia, St. Edward's, Huston-Tillotson, and Southwestern all in the area. That being said, I would also suggest tapping into those websites to see what might be posted to see what you might be able to find.
Good luck and do let me know when you are here - I will be happy to buy you and your girl a Texas brew....

Subject: [RM] Introduction, and a question
Hello!
I have been following this listserv for awhile now, but had not yet made my introductions. I am a graduate student in the Masters of Library and Information Studies program at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. My particular interests in this program lean towards archival preservation, and records management, with a more specific focus on the preservation and management of the electronic record, and preservation of non-digital materials through digitization--an area in which I have extensive work experience.
My fiance is currently living in Austin, TX, and although I am a Canadian citizen, I am interested in finding work in Austin this summer. Does anyone know of anyone who may be hiring, or have any hints on how cross-border internships work, or good places to look for them? I have been searching for awhile, but a lot of the international internship programs I have found online either seem sketchy, or are utterly unrelated to the information management field.
Really enjoying being a member of this listserv. It certainly provides a lot of professional food for thought, and helps me to keep abreast of current issues.
Thank you,
Stevie Horn
