Bibliographic reference tools providing complete record of publications of a nation based on legal depositcopies with the aim of full coverage of the printed culturalheritage.
National Bibliographies are:
Information tools mainly used by librarians,
Primarily used in non-commercial environments,
Not widely distributed and mostly not used in the book trade, general retail trade with books.
because description includes retail price information, information is more frequently updated, (generally) earlier bibliographic registration, titles are included for their whole life cycle, online versions provide additional information
Publishers: Contribute to sales performance by providing evidence
of availability; no publisher distributes the whole print run of a new title immediately after publication;
information which title/ publishing list is supplied by which distributor;
provide information on competing titles in the market which are available.
Book trade/ general trade book departments: Hardly ever the full current publishing output stocked – BIP allow efficient search, retrieval and ordering of titles not in stock.
11 Common interests of stakeholders on needs, demands, and format defined, awareness strategy to convince professionals implemented, workflow prepared, costs estimated and finances secured;
Three working steps for development and implementation
2. Project with timeline and milestones developed, staff committed and trained, comparable catalogues evaluated, Estonian model with multifunctional, bilingual database
finalized;
3. Performance specification for database, design and programming,

Outcome of the Council of Europe’s feasibility study for support of Books in Print development in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania:
Estonia:
Supporting role for book distribution unquestioned, economic conditions not yet solved nor inter-sectorial consortium created;
Latvia:
Launched in 1998 by Booksellers’ Association, no bilingual approach, only English language introduction;
Lithuania:
Launched in 1999 by National Library translating the drafted hybrid model of the study closely into electronic format with conventional look and feel; accessible via the NL home page.
Sources of information to be considered National ISBN records, Publishers’ lists on stocked, and new and forthcoming
titles, Wholesalers’/ distributors’ stock lists, National Bibliographies.
For creating BIP partnership approach of book sector stakeholders with one lead partner is condition for professional competence and contribution, inter-sectorial co-operation and comprehensive
up to date records, successful market launch and further sustainable
Globalisation and digitisation support the integration ofnational information into world wide availability:
Online Books in Print databases and National Bibliographies are gateways for world wide requests.
Global online access backed by electronic order processing and e-commerce makes each title available independent of time and place.
As member of WTO, Estonia supports the free flow of goods including books and IPR, BIP provide the information andcreate the links between providers and publishers.
