I need some materials about budgetary institutions accounting. If you have this kind of materials I would need their names, so I could borrow them. (I have to… 546 Unfortunately, your question is so special, that you should obviously contact one or several special libraries. The libraries that come to mind in first order are the Library of Parliament and the Library of the Helsinki School of Economics. Both libraries are open to all users. You speak of ”budgetary institutions” in general. That field is very large – it seems to me that this term includes all kinds of institutions, financed by various states and by various international organizations. However, if you really should write on such a general level, there is a useful looking report in the Internet, published by the World Band in 2007. Here is the address: http://siteresources.worldbank.org/PSGLP/Resources/BudgetingandBudgetar… If you…

How can I connect with a historian over the internet in Kittila, Finland? 539 Kittilä is a minor place, it very likely that there are no historians who are specialized in Kittilä history. Since you gave information about your family, i guess you are interested in your family history. I would recommend you to contact the Kittila parish for more information. A helpful source of information to a genealogist in Finland is Sukututkimusseura (The Genealogical Society of Finland) and their database Hiski: http://www.genealogia.fi/index.php?lang=en http://www.genealogia.fi/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1… It is also worth looking of the parish register of Kittilä: http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/kittila/kittila.htm email address to Kittilä parish is kittila.seurakunta@evl.fi…

Does it cost to print in the library? If I need to print many pages should i bring my own printing paper? 523 If you're visiting Turku city libraries on normal opening hours then you don't need to bring any printing paper with you. It then costs 20 cents per page to print (i.e. 40 cents per double-sided printing). The price is the same whether you print in color or in black and white. If, on the other hand, you are visiting one of the branch libraries during its open hours when there's no staff present, then you actually do need to bring your paper with you. At this situation there's no additional fee for printing of course.
