[Purpose/Significance] A moderate allocation method can help university libraries distribute print book purchases more reasonably among various disciplines. [Method/Process] Due to the allocation dilemma of print book purchases in various disciplines in libraries, this study combined circulation rate, funding guarantee rate, and the ratio of professional books to non-professional books to establish a moderate allocation model between the purchases volume for professional discipline books and the books needed to meet reader demand. Furthermore, based on the discipline-specific factors, it established a model for distributing discipline-specific books among different disciplines. Finally, based on the books borrowing situation, it established a moderate allocation for the purchase of books needed to meet readers’ needs in various disciplines. [Result/Conclusion] Through the practice of print book purchase decision-making at Hunan University of Science and Technology Library, this study proves that the moderate allocation model is a complete and reasonable allocation framework, achieving the basic guarantee of professional discipline books, a relative balance in meeting reader borrowing need, and an improved circulation rate for print books.
