The history of Karjaa is long and impressive. The earliest population dates back to the stone age, about 10 000 years back. Between 500 B.C. and 900 A.D. Karjaa was one of the most densely populated areas in Finland.
For the first time Karjaa was mentioned in script in 1326 A.D. The name was spelled "Kariis". Later on it was also spelled "Karis", "Karisa" and "Caris".
Unfortunately the philologists disagree on the origin of the name. It looks like that the Swedish name "Karis" is a translation of the Finnish name "Karjaa". Where does this come from, nobody knows reliably. The archaelogists say that there was a very strong influence from Estonia, especially from Saaremaa Islans, where there is a county called "Karja" (= Carries).

Hello!
Finnish public libraries use genres when classifying adult fiction. Most used way is to separate few well known genres from the fiction stock. In Kallio branchlibrary we have separated crime (detective novels), horror, science fiction, fantasy, romance, war, humor and hunting (fishing & hunting)novels. Rest of the books are normally on the self, and e. g. translated literature and finnish literature are on the same shelf. Some libraries might use more genres e.g. Kuhmo library. It´s not common to classify the whole fiction stock.
Content description and subject indexing of novels helps in fiction retrieval.

All Helsinki City Libraries have a choice of videos in English available for borrowing. It is customary in Finland to provide foreign films with subtitles, not dub them, so the sound track (speech, that is) is original. Big downtown libraries are: Rikhardinkatu, Töölö, and Kallio.

Unfortunately we don't have Bilotta's book. There seems to a copy in Denmark and then naturally in the UK, so you can try to get the book as an interlibrary loan.
You can make a loan request in any public library. The interlibrary loans are however not free of charge, see http://www.lib.hel.fi/page.asp?_item_id=2227

There are a large number of books that play with the short mysteries genre sometimes called mini-mysteries, where the reader is asked to solve a mystery. Consequently, without any more detailed information about the specific book you are looking for it is fairly difficult to offer an exact answer. Here are a few possible candidates: "Two-minute Mysteries" by Donald Sobal; "You're the Detective!: Twenty-Four Solve-Them-Yourself Picture Mysteries" by Lawrence Treat; "You Be The Jury" by Marvin Miller; "Almost Perfect Crimes: Mini-Mysteries For You To Solve" by Hy Conrad.
One possible option would be to try online retail book sellers (Amazon.com or Barnes&Noble.com for example) and search for the availablity of the above titles. These…

The complete list of Danish translations of Finnish novels and poems is listed on Finnish Literature Society's webpage. The database is maintained by FILI (Finnish Literature Exchange). The address is following: http://dbgw.finlit.fi/fili/kaan.php

We were unable to locate the terms in any online education dictionaries but you can apply the term skill - the power or ability to perform a task well, especially because of training or practic - to communication and language skills.
However, here are a couple of good online dictionaries:

You probably mean colour therapy, which is not a branch of classical psychotherapy. On the other hand, arts therapy is widely accepted as valid treatment among classical psychotherapists as well, but in this kind of arts therapy, separate colours hardly have special meaning or significance.
In colour therapy, the colour purple can be interpreted in several ways. Have a look e.g. at the following links:
http://www.holisticonline.com/Color/color_purple_scarlet.htm
http://www.crystalinks.com/colors.html
http://www.colourtherapyhealing.com/
The best way to find different translations for Finland and Finnish is to use Google translator:
http://translate.google.com/
Finland is in Finnish Suomi
Finnish is suomalainen
You can use these terms as the source.
I'm afraid I don't quite understand your question. What exactly do you mean by "academic resources" and "regulations"? If you mean the library collections of the Finnish university libraries and the right to use them, so basically they are open for everybody and it is also possible to request interlibrary loans from their collections, even to be sent abroad.
If you are staying in Finland, there are many libraries worth visiting. Depending on your special interests, I would recommend e.g. the following:
