At the time of their founding, American scholarly presses were presumed to act as havens for publications important for the field but "destitute of commercial value," as Columbia University's president put it in 1890 (qtd.
Forced to exist as independent financial entities, scholarly presses can scarcely afford to bankroll themselves with academic monographs, which may well represent a significant contribution to their fields but which possess little sales potential beyond purchases by university libraries.
André Schiffrin, editor of the New Press and a devoted observer of the recent vagaries of publishing, notes that as nonacademic publishers are forced to cut their "midlist" books, publications known for slower sales over a relatively long period of time, titles of this kind often get picked up by university presses.

To begin the enhancement process, representatives of university presses and society publishers whose officers are employed in AAU universities would enter into discussions with faculty to consider language acceptable for copyright transfers, contracts, or licenses; the negotiated outcomes would attempt to balance the needs of authors, universities (readers, researchers, students, libraries) and publishers.
Association and university press publishers might be receptive to such arrangements, especially if the university and faculty members designate one source for dealing with publisher contracts.

Small press is a term often used to describe publishers who typically specialize in genre fiction, or limited edition books or magazines.
It contrasts with vanity press, which usually implies payment by authors to publish; in the case of a small press the publisher is much more likely to be motivated by the idea that some writing of small immediate commercial value should nonetheless be made available by a formal publication and limited circulation.
Small presses became distinguishable from jobbing printers at some time towards the end of the nineteenth century.

 Literary magazine Summary
The "little" in little magazines refers not to the physical size of the periodical but to the circulation, which numbers from approximately 200 to 2,000 or more subscribers, a mere fraction of commercial counterparts.
Another subset of little magazines evolved as a result of political unrest during the 1960s and went underground, creating the term "underground press." Though the term is still occasionally used, radical magazines are more commonly called "progressive" and focus on alternative music and lifestyles, critiques of politics, sociology, the environment, culture, and current events.

 The Chronicle: 8/13/2004: Presses Seek Fiscal Relief in Subsidies for Authors
And many of those presses are under increasing pressure from their parent institutions to break even.
The money disbursed to scholarly presses, which would cover an average of 20 percent to 40 percent of their costs of producing books, could encourage them to publish works more in line with their scholarly missions and priorities, rather than those simply likely to recoup their costs of publication.
Added to those woes is the ignominy of presses' being told that they are not pulling their weight by their home institutions, even though, on average, they recover 87 percent of costs from revenues.

In merging all sorts of little specialty cores that had been culled from the coverage of leading bibliographies, and from interviews of many key scientists, Garfield, in effect, gave substance and reality to a new notion, that of "core journals" for "core science".
Some manage to do a little better, others try not to fall too far behind, at least in the areas where research is locally active, but all act with their eyes trained on that threshold and they buy as much as they can from that core set.
Smaller university presses often sided with big publishers, not because they wanted to maintain a high profit return on investments, but simply because their financial situation was (and still is) fragile.

Another approach was offered by Consumer Electronics Association, which would create liability for a narrow class of activity of distributing a computer program specifically designed to encourage mass, indiscriminate infringing distribution.
Although the theory of liability is based on concepts of inducement, as reflected in the caption of subsection (g)(1), discussions on this issue revealed a great deal of concern over the precise meaning of the term “induce” and little agreement over what the meaning of that term as used in the bill should be.
Predicating liability on whether the defendant “causes” infringement could be interpreted as requiring that the defendant’s conduct be the proximate or ultimate cause of the infringement, which we rejected as too high a burden.
