| Can you tell me what kind of books that story about virtual librarian? |

|
25.7.2002 |
|
I didn't quite understand the question but if you are interested in books that tell about virtual libraries and their development in general you might want to check books conserning library science (called "kirjastotiede" in finnish). For example these books tell about the subject:
- Borgman, Christine L.: From Gutenberg to the Global Information Infrastructure. 2000.
- Laverna M. Saunders (ed.): The Evolving Virtual Library. 1999.
- William Y. Arms: Digital Libraries. 2000.
Virtuaalikirjasto, finnish virtual library, can be found in the Internet http://www.jyu.fi/library/virtuaalikirjasto/engvirli.htm . There is also some general information about virtual libraries (see "Help" and "General instructions"). Other virtual libraries can be… |
| Can I Practice AutoCad in library computer? I mean does library computers have autocad facility??? |

Unfortunately there are no workstations with AutoCAD available in Helmet libraries. The new central library Oodi will provide some 3D modelling software when their makerspace facilities open, but apparently AutoCAD will no be included. More information on Oodi can be found on their website at https://www.oodihelsinki.fi/
However, Aalto Fablab, at Aalto University in Otaniemi, Espoo, provides CAD workstations with AutoDesk Fusion 360 and other software. Aalto Fablab is mostly used by Aalto University students and staff, but they have open access days every now and then. You can contact them by sending e-mail to fablab[at]aalto.fi |

In Finnish Aleksi- article database nearly 60 articles were found concerning this topic. Besides, the newspapers and periodicals published hundreds of news reports.
Unto Hämäläinen claims in his article (Helsingin Sanomat 2004-11-06) that according to opinion polls, about 90% of Finns were on Kerrys side before the Presidential Elections in the USA.
We did not find usable information concerning the attitudes in Finland regarding Bush's reelection after the Presidential Elections.

The public toilets at Oodi are unisex. In other words they are gender neutral. There isn´t different toilets for different genders.
The meeting and collection facilities of the Helmet libraries will be closed to customers between 30.11 and 20.12.2020, but the libraries will remain open in limited form for short-time visits. Also the toilets in Oodi will be closed until 20.12.2020.

You can search the Helmet library database in the address www.helmet.fi - change language into English and then choose Keyword search. Write there "suomen kieli kielikurssit" (Finnish language, language courses) and choose cd as material type. There are several Finnish courses that also include cds.
If you already have library card and the secret number you can reserve the course you want. If not visit any library with an id that has your photo in it and you will soon have our library card and if the library you visit doesn't have any course in at the moment please ask help with ordering one.

| What is the best source of information when I need to know about electronic forms (e.g. those made with Word 2000)? |
634 |
|
5.12.2001 |
|
It seems that it would be best to acquire some html-editor program, like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and study related literature. They contain basic knowledge about electronic forms. The same goes with intranet which can be realized in so many ways that it cannot be answered here.
You can search related information from library databases (e.g. Plussa in public libraries, www.libplussa.fi) with subject words: ”intranet”, ”sähköiset lomakkeet”, ”FrontPage” and ”Dreamweaver”.

| How am I supposed to return the e-book? I tried to return it by using the Adobe Digital Edition but it stops working during the process. Is there any other way? |
629 |
|

Don’t worry, an e-book loan expires automatically and therefore it is not necessary to return it. But if you want to return your e-book loan before it expires, you can do it via a reading program as you have done. Sometimes there are problems from various reasons. It's impossible to say why your program stopped working.
If you are returning an e-book so that you can borrow a new book, you can leave feedback for us via e-library helmet.lib.overdrive.com or nextmedia.ellibs.com (library where you want to borrow) and our technical support will help you.
