Hello
When it comes to getting your degree recognized in Finland you need to be in contact with the Finnish National Agency for Education.
When it comes to your question about a professional organisation I suggest to look into the Finnish Library Association and ask for help there.
Unfortunately no Helmet library has an air quality monitor for loan at the moment. Although you can find such a tool in the Helmet catalogue, there seems to be no working equipment left now. Hopefully in the future again?
In the Helmet search you can browse all objects and tools for loan at the Helmet libraries, from sport equipment to drill machines, by using * (star) as a search term and then restricting your search to objects only: https://haku.helmet.fi/iii/encore/search/C__S%28*%29%20f%3Aq__Orightresult__U?lang=eng&suite=cobalt
Services for teens differs between Public libraries in Finland.
In the Public Libraries Act (1492/2016) it says, that public libraries are tasked with:
1) providing access to materials, information and cultural contents;
2) maintaining versatile and up-to-date collections;
3) promoting reading and literature;
4) providing information services, guidance and support in the acquisition and use of information and in versatile literacy skills;
5) providing premises for learning, recreational activities, working, and civic activities;
6) promoting social and cultural dialogue.
These services are of course aimed at teens also and very often libraries co-operate with schools to provide these services for teens. It is very common…

There are actually three famous Finns by the name of Antti Isotalo: the farmer and knife-fighter Antti Heikinpoika Isotalo or Isoo-Antti (1831 - 1911), his grandson Antti Isotalo (1895 - 1964), and the unrelated preacher Antti Matinpoika Isotalo (1824 - 1906). Since the first two have English Wikipedia pages, I assume you mean either of them.Unfortunately, there is not much information available in English about these men, apart from the Wikipedia pages. The blog Your Roots uses Antti Heikinpoika Isotalo as an example in demonstrating how to use Finnish genealogy records, so there is some information about him in this and this blog entry, as well as some of the subsequent ones.Finnish online resources include the National Biography of…
You can find information on the Rolf Nevanlinna prizes on the Internet. For example use Google (www.google.com) and search for "Rolf Nevanlinna prize" or "Rolf Nevanlinna palkinto". Both searches return many links to Internet sites that mention the prize. The web site for Fields medals and Rolf Nevanlinna Prize (http://elib.zib.de/IMU/medals/) tells the history of the Rolf Nevanlinna prize and gives information on the prize winners.
The best way to find out about Finnish name days is to buy yourself a calendar or an almanac that has a list of Finnish male and female names. The Finnish almanac has 361 Finnish female names and 354 Finnish male names; the Swedish almanac version has 263 female names and 264 male names. Most names the Finnish use can be found on the almanac, but some new ones cannot be found on almanacs, these names do not have an official name day at all. You will find calendars and almanacs e.g. in bookshops. If you want to learn more about Finnish names, you might take a look at http://www.eponym.org/hq.html There are many Finnish name links and also a pronunciation guide. A fairly good web page is also http://www.genealogia.fi/nimet/nimi36qs.htm…

Finlands national anthem is called "Maamme", that is "Our Land" in English. The song is composed by Fredrik Pacius and the lyrics are written by J. L. Runeberg (originally a poem in the Swedish language; Finnish translation by Paavo Cajander). Nowadays everybody sings it in his/her mother tongue, but as 93 % of the Finns have Finnish as their mother tongue, the Finnish version is heard more often. Here are the Finnish words:
Oi maamme, Suomi, synnyinmaa,
soi sana kultainen!
Ei laaksoa, ei kukkulaa,
ei vettä rantaa rakkaampaa
kuin kotimaa tää pohjoinen,
maa kallis isien.
Sun kukoistukses kuorestaan
kerrankin puhkeaa;
viel lempemme saa nousemaan
sun toivos, riemus loistossaan,
ja kerran laulus, synnyinmaa,
korkeemman kaiun saa.

You will find our bibliographic database directly at http://www.libplussa.fi/#en or through our home page (
http://www.lib.hel.fi/english/index.html ) by clicking "Books & other materials".
Start by choosing the city where you usually use public libraries. This will lead you to the "Basic search".
If you are looking for material about a certain topic, choose "Subject heading or class" and type your search word. Unfortunately the subject headings should be written in Finnish, because our bibliographic records are in Finnish. If you have any basic knowledge of Finnish (or a Finnish dictionary!) you can check the correct terms at http://vesa.lib.helsinki.fi/ . In the title search you can also use search words in English (use the…

There are also two shorter articles on the Internet that I believe you should check out. One is under the address http://www.uwasa.fi/~sukkula/juhlakirja/english.html
and written by Ilkka Mäkinen. The article
will provide you with a historical perspective. The other one is under
http://www.lib.hel.fi/julkaisut/media.html
and concerns the situation today.
There are also books on the subject, for instance:

I have searched the Internet and several library catalogues. The French National Library (www.bnf.fr) has a big digital library (gallica.bnf.fr). There are also medieval romances, but, unfortunately, not "Roman de Florimont"). The only version of "Roman de Florimont" practically available seems to be the following edition: Aimon de Varennes, "Florimont: ein altfranzösischer Abenteuerroman; zum ersten Male mit Einleitung, Anmerkungen, Namenverzeichnis und Glossar unter Benutzung der von Alfred Risop gesammelten handschriftlichen Materialen herausgegeben von Alfons Hilka". The book has been published in Göttingen 1932. The text is in French; only the introduction is in German. Several libraries in Europe own the book, so it should be…
