trükiväljaandes

Trükiväljaandes is an Estonian term that denotes the printed edition of a publication. It refers to the physical form of a work—such as a book, periodical, or report—as distinct from its digital formats (online, e‑book, PDF, or other electronic editions). In bibliographic practice, trükiväljaandes appears in catalog records and metadata to identify the print version and to distinguish it from other formats. The print edition may carry its own edition statement, format details, page count, and physical characteristics such as paper, binding, and dimensions.

The concept is used to describe differences between formats that can affect pagination, layout, illustrations, color reproduction, and sometimes included material. A printed edition can have material not present in electronic editions, and vice versa; publishers may release revised or updated print editions, sometimes accompanied by new ISBNs and separate edition histories. Print runs and production quality (binding, printing quality, and paper type) are typical attributes associated with trükiväljaande records.

In libraries and publishing, the term helps readers and researchers identify and acquire the physical version. It is often paired with identifiers such as ISBN for the print edition, while electronic editions may have separate identifiers. Understanding trükiväljaandes aids in accurate cataloging, holdings management, and distinguishing between formats in interlibrary loans or acquisitions.
