If You have reserved a computer and someone is using it, You can go to him/her and say that You have reserved the computer and now is Your turn to use it.
It often happens that the person who had reserved the previous time uses the computer until the next person comes.
If You still have problems to access the computer You have reserved please approach the library staff.

Unfortunately we don’t have specific information about Winter war’s volunteer troops, for example name lists of soldiers. But we recommend to contact Finnish National Archives (www.narc.fi). The straight e-mail address is kansallisarkisto.sornainen [at] narc.fi (Former Military Archives). In these archives they have quite a detailed lists and statistics about Finnish war history and troops. We believe that they can help and give more advice in this matter.

The Diplomat isn't available in helmet-, vaski-, porsse, nor helka-libraries. I also checked Frank-multisearch, and I didn't get any hits.

| I would like to know where to go to look up a surname for geneology research. The name is Juola. |
211 |
|
19.2.2005 |
|
Find out about a name by looking it up in books or atlases on surnames. The name Juola points either to Ostrobothnia or to the far east, to Ruokolahti. Juolan talo, the Juola house, was known in the 16th century in Kalajoki. The name seems to have been Juvala or Juvola at first, which means that the patron of the house was called Johannes(=Juva).
To find out more about a name you should go to the Genealogical Society of Finland's website. The adress is www.genealogia.fi. Find the articles under the heading Personal Names. Then give the HisKi -church records database a try. Here's a way to go:
1)click on search program
2)choose All
3)choose Christened
4)write the name where the Father's last name is asked for
5)click on Submit

| I am looking for borrowable books in English about Word for Windows 3.1. |

|
18.10.2000 |
|
I assume you want to use Word for Windows word processor software with Windows 3.1 operating system and that you are using the version 6 or earlier of Word for Windows, so the proper guidebooks should cover these earlier versions of Word for Windows:
Word for Windows 1.x,
Word for Windows 2.x and
Word 6 for windows.
Notice that there isn't any version 3.1 of Word for Windows, whereas windows 3.1 was a major operating system still used by many people including you.
These books are still available in public libraries of the capitol region and match your requirements:
PERSON, RON: USING WORD FOR WINDOWS 2
Lichty, Tom: Desktop publishing with Word for Windows for version 2

Unfortunately, The startup owner's manual is available only as an interlibrary loan - we don't have a copy of our own.

| What is public library all about? The management and services? |
206 |
|
9.2.2006 |

The public library is an institution provided usually by a state, city or municipality. Public library services are provided equally for all citizens or inhabitants of a certain area (state, city, commune etc.) regardless of age and economical, social or cultural background. The aim is to give people access to knowledge, information, education, recreation and experience by means of literature, audio- or audiovisual recordings, IT-services and different forms of personal information service. Public library services may also include occasional art exhibitions, educational presentations, musical or literary performances and so on.
In practice, this means that the library users may borrow books and other material from a library or read/listen… |

| Haluaisin tietää, mitä strategisia kumppaneita yleisellä kirjastolla voi olla. |
201 |
|
9.3.2005 |
|
Kumppanuus tarkoittaa Ståhlen ja Laennon (2000) mukaan sekä yrityksen ulkoisia yhteistyösuhteita että sen sisäistä toimintakulttuuria, joissa toimijoina ovat ihmiset, ja joiden varaan myös kumppanuus rakentuu. Kumppanuus ei ole myötäsyntyistä, ja siksi sitä pitää rakentaa kuten johtajuuttakin, johon kumppanuuden taito sisältyy.
Strategia –sana itsessään viittaa sodankäyntiin, josta se on lainattu liikemaailmaan ja sitä kautta se on rantautunut myös kirjastomaailmaan. Käsitteenä strategia voidaan ymmärtää läheisenä toimintatapana
Strateginen kumppanuus yhdistää tietoresursseja siten, että kumppanit saavuttavat merkittävää strategista etua itselleen. Strategisessa kumppanuudessa molemmilla osapuolilla onkin tasavertaiset roolit, jotka… |

| I want to know the meaning and history of the Croatian girl name Vjosa |
198 |
|
26.5.2004 |
|
I was consulting a native speaker and a person who is writing a dissertation on Christian names in Croatia and Bulgaria. They both said they never heard the name Vjosa and that it is not a traditional Slavic name. The one who is writing her dissertation was checking in her Christian name books (in Croatian, Slovenian, Bulgarian, Swedish, German and Finnish) and she didn´t find that name in any of those books.
In southern Albania there is a river by the name Vjosa. Names of places/rivers have been quite often used as female (usually) Christian names as well. Vjosa is probably used as female name among native Albanians. It is of course possible (if not very common) that an Albanian name has been given to a Croatian girl.

| How do you say in Finnish: "Set and maintain boundaries"? |
198 |
|
24.3.2022 |
|
Translation isn't easy. In most cases, you need to know more how and where the sentence is used. Like in this case: what kind of boundary is being set and maintained? A literal boundary line between neighbours or countries? More abstract concept, like personal boundaries in a certain situation?
Perhaps "Asettaa ja ylläpitää rajoja" would work in both cases? If this is about personal boundaries, I might add a possessive affix. |
