En Finlandia, las dos bibliotecas públicas y de investigación están abiertos a todos y de uso gratuito. Esta política de apertura crea un ambiente fructífero para clientes de la biblioteca: se puede elegir y utilizar la biblioteca que se adapte mejor a sus necesidades. La apertura también ayuda a las bibliotecas finlandesas a cooperar y formar bibliotecas conjuntas, así como consorcios de bibliotecas. Juntos somos fuertes...

16. Teachers perspective at JAMK
• Thesis by Jonna Järvisalo 2015 in Theseus http://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi:amk-201505076626 (Finnish)
ü Learning space: people, tehnology, environment
ü User exprerience matters!
ü A modifiable and comfortable space supports the learning process and changing teaching methods.
ü Majority of the teachers’ work is still done in traditional classrooms
ü The traditional Classroom does not support interaction and active dialogue.
ü Lack of time is the main reason not to change course of action
ü Change leadership is needed!
