What is the basis of a bibliometric study and how can this kind of study be applied to the analysis of a scholarly journal. 207 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

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… 197 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.

Thank you… 194 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.

It is possible however that not every library has included opening hours and routes of their mobile services here.
