Stevie,
 
You might want to also consider attending the annual E-Records Forum in
Austin (April 25 - 26).  Good networking opportunity - since there will
be a number of professionals in attendance.  There may even be a student
rate - but I don't recall.  Call the NAGARA number in the ad below. 
Hope that the formatting of the text still work - since I cut and pasted
it from their ad.  I realize the links probably won't work.
 
Good luck.
 
Preston

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
