At least in the bigger public libraries of Helsinki metropolitan area there are many books in Persian language. If your local library doesn't have many books in Persian, you can ask the librarian over there if they could order some books from other libraries for you.
You can browse the Persian language books in Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa public libraries by choosing the advanced search here: http://helmet.fi/search~S9/X and selecting the Persian language from the language menu. If you want to browse all the available Persian books without restricting your search in any other way, you can replace query words by typing only two asterisks ** in the search field.

You may return the library book by mail, the address to Library 10 is:
Kirjasto 10
Elielinaukio 2 G
P.O. Box 4200
If the book happens to get lost in the mail, it will be your responsibility to compensate for it by paying the compensation charge ordered by the owner of the book, the city library in question.
Books can also be renewed three times either at our www.helmet.fi homepage or by telephone. To renew items through the Net you need a PIN code that you can only acquire by visiting a city library in the Helsinki region. The Library 10 telephone number is 09-31085000. Renewals cannot be made if you have unpaid library fees that exceed 5€.

| How looks the age distribution of the Ask A Librarian users? |
3266 |
|
21.5.2008 |
|
There is no study about the age distribution of our users, the only knowledge about it relies on a questionnaire we made last year. The people who answered our questionnaire, where
under 18 years 14%
18-35 21%
36-45 12%
46-55 26%
56-65 21%
over 65 6%
This tells off course firstly about who answers questionnaires, but also something about our users. As you can see the age distribution is quite even, whe have people asking questions from every age group.
The is a power-point about the questionnaire, but it is in Finnish. It can be found under this page, which tells about our national meeting day http://www.kirjastot.fi/Page/15c00449-390e-4489-ba31-b9f49ab0e267.aspx , questionnaire slides http://www.kirjastot.fi/File/33c525c4-72ee-4e...st%c3%… |

Permanent magnets and strong electromagnets may damage data that has been recorded on the computers diskettes and on the video cassettes, because the information is on these in a magnetic form.
Source (in Finnish): http://www.edu.helsinki.fi/astel-ope/sahko/magneettinen_tiedon_tallennu…
Fiber Optic Cables are immunity to electromagnetic disturbance and its signal transmission characteristics make it the ideal support for high-speed data transmission. There occurs no electromagnetic radiation.
The light waves travel along the optical core which is made from silica, melted quartz or plastic.

Wikipedia's article has a nice definition of e-print:
"An eprint is a digital version of a research document (usually a journal article, but could also be a thesis, conference paper, book chapter, or a book) that is accessible online, whether from a local Institutional, or a central (subject- or discipline-based) Digital Repository."

| Could you give me a list of relevant literature for seminar theme: Sociological aspects of suicide? |
2094 |
|
22.4.2008 |

The most famous classic about sociological aspects of suicide is Émile Durkheim's "Suicide: A Study in Sociology", which was originally published in 1897. The book is still relevant and many studies concerning suicide has Durkheim as the starting point.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89mile_Durkheim
Steve Taylor's "Sociology of Suicide" (Longman, 1988) and Anthony Gidden's "Sociology of Suicide: A Selection of Readings" (1971) might be also useful to you.
But I think the most convenient way to start your study is by searching from the internet. We recommend Google Scholar, which has access to many scientific databases: http://scholar.google.com/
Good keywords for your search would be: 'suicide', 'sociology', 'social', 'sociological… |

We found no personal information about Bjarne Dahlqvist, but maybe you could ask directly from the company. Few months ago Finnish TV broadcasted a documentary about him. The documentary was called "Yrittaja Bjarne" and it was about him and his businesses in Estonia.

I will base my answer on an enquiry carried out by Helsingin Sanomat in 2004 (www.helsinginsanomat.fi/extrat/erikoissivu/1076153242285).
2080 people answered to this enquiry by giving the titles of childrens books that were dearest to them. Some can well be defined as “evergreens”. Although the answers included books by foreign autors too, I will only list those by Finnish authors.
The books on Moomins by Tove Jansson are cherished and enjoyed by young and adults. Jansson began writing the Moomin-books in 1945. She wrote 9 novels on the Moomins. Her production on the Moomins includes 9 novels, picture books and cartoons. Beside the Moomins, Jansson has plenty of other literary works. Her mother tongue was Swedish, thus her works were… |

Luku-Suomi ("Reading Finland") project was in years 2001-2004. The municipal libraries took part in the project by doing different projects with schools. They did mainly book talks or something similar. For example in 2001 Helsinki City Library organized Reading October -event in which librarians did book talks in schools and libraries for children aged 7-10. Different libraries participated to the project in various ways. In addition to book talks, librarians worked closely with schools as consultants.
