First, we have to tell you that we are not copyright specialists, so this answer has been given by amateurs.
According the Finnish Copyright Law (“Tekijänoikeuslaki”, http://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/ajantasa/1961/19610404), translations and adaptations are protected by the law, so you need a permission from the author when making adaptations. If it’s the same text in other words, I think it will be considered an adaptation. In the Finnish Copyright Law, there is no fair use as in USA.
You are right - it isn't easy to find material in English on handicapped/disabled people in Finland. Something, however, can be found on the Internet, though most sites are only in Finnish and Swedish. You don't specify what sort of information you need or for what purpose, but I will try to give you some links:
http://www.invalidiliitto.fi/in_english.html, http://193.209.217.5/in/internet/english.nsf/NET/081101144154EH?openDoc…, http://www.stm.fi/Resource.phx/eng/subjt/socwe/disab/index.htx, http://www.tilastokeskus.fi/index_en.html
(for statistics). There is also an association of disabled people called Kynnys (Threshold). Their website, at http://www.kynnys.fi/, is unfortunately only in Finnish, but you can surely contact them directly…
Yes we have. You can search in HelMet-catalogue (www.helmet.fi) also in English. Books in Albanian language you can find like this: choose guided search Keyword , write two small stars (**), limit your search by material code ’book’ and by language ’Albanian’. You can also choose Sorting order by ’year of publication’ or ’alphabetical’. As a result you get the collection of literature in Albanian language in Helsinki metropolitan area City Libraries (Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Kauniainen). In Helsinki Pasila, the Main Llibrary, has the biggest number of books in Albanian, but at the moment the library is closed for renovation.
Human beings cannot survive without water. If you spend any amount of time in zero humidity, whether in an extremely hot desert, in an extremely cold artic region or in space, you would need protective clothing, which would keep your dehydration in check. You would also need an ample and constant supply of water or any other drinkable, non-poisonous liquid. For further information, go to your nearest library and read on the topic from a comprehensive book on biology.
Unfortunately we do not have any books in Tongan in the Helsinki metropolitan area library system. However, you can come to the Main Library in Pasila and make an interlibrary loans request. The Interlibrary loans department will try to find books in Tongan from other multilingual libraries in Scandinavia or even from the United Kingdom.
Thank you very much! We have saved all answers since we started in year 1998. You can find them here http://www.libraries.fi/en-GB/ask_librarian/archive/ (this is the search, the newest answers are listed here http://www.libraries.fi/en-GB/ask_librarian/newest/ . The most part of the answers are available, only those containing personal information that can't be published is hidden. Our RSS-feeds are at present only in Finnish, but we should of course include all languages (Finnish, Swedish and English) in the feed. This is the addres to our RSS-feed, http://www2.kirjastot.fi/_channels/?ChannelId=7146af19-b294-449a-9ecc-6… . I'll enquire about the change, it might not be to difficult to change it in near future.
The Spanish version of Fred Karlsson's Finnish grammar is Gramática básica del finés (Suomen peruskielioppi, traducción y adaptación: Ursula Ojanen et al., Universidad Autónoma de Madrid : Siglo XXI, distr., 1991, ISBN 84-7477-306-7). The book is available in some university libraries (Helsinki, Turku, Oulu and Jyvaskylä) and as well in some public libraries.

You could try the URL http://www.miragebookmark.ch/wb_collector's_page.htm . If you are especially looking for Finnish bookmarks, try a Google search ( www.google.com ) using the word "keräily" or "keräilijät". There are quite a few pages with different collectors' items, but so far I have not found any Finnish pages concentrating on collecting bookmarks.
You will find our bibliographic database directly at http://www.libplussa.fi/#en or through our home page (
http://www.lib.hel.fi/english/index.html ) by clicking "Books & other materials".
Start by choosing the city where you usually use public libraries. This will lead you to the "Basic search".
If you are looking for material about a certain topic, choose "Subject heading or class" and type your search word. Unfortunately the subject headings should be written in Finnish, because our bibliographic records are in Finnish. If you have any basic knowledge of Finnish (or a Finnish dictionary!) you can check the correct terms at http://vesa.lib.helsinki.fi/ . In the title search you can also use search words in English (use the…

Statistics on asylum and refugees are compiled by the Finnish Immigration Service: http://www.migri.fi/about_us/statistics/statistics_on_asylum_and_refuge…
Information on immigrants living permanently in Finland can be found on Statistics Finland's website: http://www.stat.fi/tup/maahanmuutto/index_en.html

In Finland the libraries are funded by tax revenues. So the source of funding for the library was partly state aid and partly it was paid by the city of Seinäjoki.
The library building was finished in 1965 and the cost was then 1 041 145,86 Finnish marks. It would be about 9 001 222,20 Finnish marks in the value of mark in 2001. If we change it in to euros it would be about
1 514 000 euros. As you can see the cost of the building was very low. Nowadays the cost of building a library would be twice as much.
