The studios can be reserved via a system called Varaamo, https://varaamo.hel.fi/, but these kind of services are very popular and it isn't likely that you can get a room at such a short notice. You could visit Oodi in the city center and ask if they could help you in any way, since you only are here for one day and Varaamo perhaps doesn't help you.
"How to register
Bring your library card and a photo ID with you. On the identity cards webpage, you can check which identity cards are accepted.
The staff asks you to read the self-service library rules. By signing the rules, you accept them. You can take the signed rules home with you.
The library employee enters your name in the library database.
Read the emergency instructions of the library you use. They are available at the library.
You can now start using the self-service library. " https://www.helmet.fi/en-US/Libraries_and_services/Selfservice_libraries
If there is no staff at the local library you use, contact the nearest regional library. e.g.…

Unfortunately I could not find the act in English either. Finland being a bilingual country all the legislation is both in Finnish and Swedish, not necessarily in English. Now, I wonder, whether you are interested in this old act from 1970 or prefer an up to date statute. The fact is that the Employment Contracts Act has been totally revised. The new act 55/2001 came into force June 1, 2001 and replaces the act 320/1970. You can find it in Finnish or Swedish in http://www.finlex.fi/ , but of course it needs to be translated. The Library of Parliament is specializing in legislation, so I guess they might be able to help you. Their e-mail is: kirjasto @eduskunta.fi.

Librarians use keywords but they are few and that would not help you.
in a few words:
Bibliometrics is a research method used in library and information science. It utilizes quantitative analysis and statistics to describe patterns of publication within a given field or body of literature.
Researchers may use bibliometric methods of evaluation to determine the influence of a single writer, for example, or to describe the relationship between two or more writers or works.
One common way of conducting bibliometric research is to use the Social Science Citation Index, the Science Citation Index or the Arts and Humanities Citation Index to trace citations.
