"At Indiana University Press, we publish books that make a difference—for readers today and for generations to come. As an academic press, our mandate is to serve the world of scholarship and culture as a professional, not-for-profit publisher. Founded in 1950, we are recognized internationally as a leading academic publisher specializing in the humanities and social sciences. We produce more than 110 new books annually, in addition to 38 journals, and maintain a back list of some 3,500 titles. The Press emphasizes scholarship but also publishes trade and reference titles. Our program is financed primarily by income from sales, supplemented by support from Indiana University and by gifts and grants from outside sources. We are proud to be a part of Indiana University Libraries, whose superb staff, services, and collections are a linchpin of student success and research excellence at Indiana University. Our major subject areas include African, Jewish and Holocaust, Middle East, Russian and East European, gender and sexuality,  film and media, folklore and ethnomusicology, Indiana and the Midwest, Irish, music, paleontology, and philosophy. We are one of the largest public university presses, as measured by titles and income level."
