What is the basis of a bibliometric study and how can this kind of study be applied to the analysis of a scholarly journal. 213 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. Useful links and hints can be found at: http://www.gslis.utexas.edu/~palmquis/courses/biblio.html

What is the current situation of school libraries in Finland? Are there school libraries in all primary/secondary schools or is it up to each school or… 204 Surprisingly it seems there is no complete database of school libraries in Finland. Libraries.fi-site, which lists almost all libraries in Finland, when using the key word koulukirjasto, only gives three school libraries: in Lieto (Keskuskoulun ja lukion kirjasto) and Ilmarinen and Tarvasjoki (which both belong to the of City of Lieto).

The law (Section 47 § Supportive activities) merely suggests that "library, club and other activities closely relating to education may be arranged In conjunction with basic…
I have been studied about Finland's Mobile library. Do mobile libraries visit schools and daycare centers almost every day? Specifically, how often? Thank you… 203 Finnish libraries are in that way independent that their mobile libraries have own time tables and schedules. That means that they can have very different resources and that every mobile library does not circulate every day. If you want to study the activities or timetables of mobile libraries, you can find them here, https://directory.libraries.fi/search?q=mobile%20libraries. It is possible however that not every library has included opening hours and routes of their mobile services here. In that case you can ask the library in question, the contact information can be found in the same directory. This kind of information can't be found in our statistic database, https://tilastot.kirjastot.fi/?lang=en.  Mobile…
In Turku public libraries, do teachers have to take 1st grade school children to the libraries to make children their library cards? In Helsinki, I think so… 202 A first grader can get a library card with a library card application form that one of the parents/guardians has filled in and signed. A teacher can not sign the form on behalf of the parent/guardian. The form can also be found online on our website vaski.finna.fi. A child can get a library card when visiting a library with a teacher if they have the signed form with them. The card has to be retrieved from a library, we do not deliver them to schools.

I’m a foreigner, I would like to visit a library here in Finland. And the thing is if I use a space or a table and have my own art materials with me to do some… 200 Hello,starting point is that all services in public libraries are free of charge. Still here in Finland there are little differences how libraries run their space etc. reservation policy. This is due every city, county or region have more or less their own library networks and therefore their individual ways to organize services.  I suggest you to contact the library where you want to work at and ask about their services and space etc.. Give a call or contact service desk for some libraries don't have space to be reserved. In some libraries card is needed and in some it´s not, I´d guess depending nature of necessity and type of the space.  For a library card photo identity card is needed.Since you addressed your question here in…
